Windows 98/Me/Millenium Client-server
Systems (File Sharing):
In client-server systems running under
Windows 98 or "Me" (Millennium), "file-sharing"
must be enabled on each PC in the MONITOR

Windows
administrator
authority is needed when
installing the MONITOR AFx Director software, or
setting up ports and/or modems through the
MONITOR AFx Director communications software.
Settings Required for Client-Server Operation
1)
At least one person must have authority to
log into the PC being used as the MONITOR
AFx Director server (i.e., a PC/domain user).
(Someone must be logged into that PC whenever
client PCs are to be used.) This step is typically
done by your Windows
administrator
.
2)
The Windows DCOM feature will need to be
configured. This is described at the end of
the software installation section (since
MONITOR AFx Director must be installed
first).
To Allow Database 'Backups' to a Shared
Network Drive
With user-level windows/network permissions
(e.g., Windows 2000/XP), the "MSSQLServer"
service must be set for an
account
-level login
(not system-level) which has been given 'write'
access to the specific shared folder--plus its
parent drive/partition (if formatted as NTFS).
Director-Server PC:
(The PC that includes
"...Director-server.exe", and typically contains the
database--i.e., if 'closed database')
From the Windows
[Start]
menu, select
Settings
,
Control Panel
,
Administrative Tools
,
Services
,
and double-click
MSSQLServer
. Then, go into
Log On
, and set-up a desired account-login under
"This Account" (i.e., administrator or other user who will
have authority to write to the shared network drive).
PC with the Shared Drive:
Run Windows Explorer,
right
-click the shared drive/folder, and select
Sharing
from the pop-up menu. Then, go to
Security
, and
ensure the specific account has "write" permissions.
Drive Formatted as NTFS: This will be required for the
drive/partition as well as the specific folder, as
applicable.
"Open Database" Option: User
'Logins' and Passwords:
With Director
≥
V4.10, you can optionally let
your SQL-server 'folks' take charge of the
database. We call this feature "
Open
Database
". If you select this feature, you will
be asked to enter some new passwords, or
optionally enter some custom login information
that was set up at the SQL Server PC. For
details on this feature, and the login data, refer
to: "
Advanced Database Features
"
