ZIP file installation

Installing and Starting ISPort for the First Time

1. Create a folder to serve as ISPort’s home directory, for example:
`C:\ISPort`

2. Download the installation package from Ice Star’s website:
[www.icestar.fi/downloads](https://www.icestar.fi/downloads)
and choose the latest version, e.g. **V3.044**.

3. Save the package into the ISPort home directory and extract it there.

4. Create desktop shortcuts for all ISPort applications:

ISPort32.exe
ISPort32S.exe
ISPort32C.exe

5. Run **VC_redist.x86.exe** before starting ISPort for the first time.
This only needs to be done once. It installs the required Windows runtime libraries if they are not already installed.

6. Copy the correct language files into use by running the appropriate `.BAT` file.
(If English is preferred, you don’t need to do this since it’s the default language.)

7. Start ISPort32S and configure communication and PC settings.

8. When a device is connected via USB, it will be automatically added to the ISPort device list.
For ZigBee, RS-485, LAN, or WLAN connections, the device must be added manually.

Updating ISPort

If you are still using an older ISPort 2.xx version, it is strongly recommended to update to ISPort32.
The 2.xx version is no longer developed and does not receive updates.

1. Download the latest ISPort version from the Ice Star website.
Save and extract the package into a folder other than your current ISPort folder.

2. Copy the following files and folders from the extracted package into your ISPort home directory:

* ISPort32.exe – Basic user version. (Certain setup features are disabled.)
* ISPort32S.exe – Full-featured version for advanced users.
* ISPort32C.exe – Calibration and I/O configuration version.
* Upd folder – Latest firmware updates for devices.
* Txt folder – Latest language files. (Backup your customized versions first.)

Do NOT overwrite the following files:

* ISPort.ini – PC program settings.
* Devices.TD1 – Information on installed devices.

Backup before overwriting:

* Project folder – Existing heating projects.
* Layout folder – Certificate templates (especially customized ones).

You may overwrite or keep the following files:

* ISPort.txt – Active language file (copied from TXT folder, not editable).
* ISPortIO.txt – I/O terminology.
* ISPortC.txt – Field definitions (do not overwrite if you’ve created custom fields).
* .BAT files – Used for switching language sets (ISPort must be closed when running these).
* .WAV files – Alarm sounds (keep your customized files).

Note: License.txt (the license file) is delivered separately and is not included in the update package.

3. If you use another language than English, run the corresponding `.BAT` file to activate it.

Transferring ISPort to Another Computer

1. Copy the entire ISPort home folder (usually `C:\ISPort`) to a USB stick.
You can include all subfolders to transfer every ISPort-related file.
For backup purposes, you may also copy the folder to another drive.
The home directory path can be seen in the **Login dialog**, or in newer versions by pressing **F1**.

Typical subfolders:

* Upd – Device firmware updates
* Txt – Language files for ISPort
* Project – Heating projects
* Layout – Certificate templates
* Archive – Archive of completed projects
* Import – Files imported or exported from other programs

2. Move the USB stick to the new PC and copy the folder to the same location (e.g. `C:\ISPort`).
If the folder does not exist, create it first.

3. If you’re using older ISPort versions, create desktop shortcuts to:
ISPort.exe, ISPortS.exe, and ISPortC.exe.

4. Run VC_redist.x86.exe before starting ISPort for the first time on the new PC.
This only needs to be done once. It installs necessary Windows runtime components if not already present.

Controller software updates. Compatible with ISPort2 and ISPort3 programs. Extract the ZIP file to the UPD directory of the ISPort program.

Special ISPort only for testing. Needs FUP1 (ISPort32F, ISPort32D)
