connection. (This may be used on its
own, or in conjunction with other
software components.)

V1.x Upgrades:
In this case, this step needs to be
done twice (once to convert from V1.x to V2.01, and
again to convert from V2.01 to the latest version).
•
Select
[Yes]
when asked if you wish to
convert the database;
Tip:
If you wish to start the database conversion
utility manually, look for "

DB Convert.exe
" in the "Monitor AFx Director Vx"
folder (
not
available through the Windows [Start]
menu).

Cyclic-ID Codes at each
client
PC: After
installing the software at each client
workstation, start the software, open
Help
,
About...
and jot down the "Cyclic-ID" code,
as this will be needed to 'tell' the server to
allow database access for each of these
workstations.
This is required for the MONITOR AFx Director
software, as well as the Communications software,
as applicable.
(To start the software, open the
Start
menu, select
MONITOR AFx Director V4
, followed by
Programs
, and
MONITOR AFx Director
.)
Tip:
If you prefer, you can cut-and-paste the ID
codes into "Notepad" or "MS Word", and use a
floppy-disk to transport the file to the server PC (for
registration).
Similarly, you'll need to record the "Cyclic-
ID" code from the Communications
software on each PC to be associated with
an alarm panel connection (in addition to
the MONITOR AFx Director ID/code, as
applicable). To start the Communications
software, open the
Start
menu, select
MONITOR AFx Director V4
, followed by
Programs
, and
MONITOR AFx Director-
Communication
.
If prompted for the Server Name: Enter or select
the name (or IP address) associated with the server
PC, and click
OK
(press
F1
if you'd like more
information).
If a Device Configuration Screen Appears: If the
"Direct-Cable-Connection" or modem that you'll be
using has already been set up on the PC, you can
select it now (press
F1
if you'd like more
information). When finished with this screen, click
OK
. Otherwise, click
Cancel
to close the device-

(e.g., C:\Program Files\MONITOR AFx
Director Vx\Data\MONITOR AFx Director.mdb).
-------------------------
[Advanced]:
This button appears only when upgrading from V1.x, and
can typically be ignored. (It allows entering the "UID" for the account /
database manually, although this is normally auto-detected.)
