Starting the Database-Server Software
(Server PC)
In a single-PC system, the database-server
software is started and shut down
automatically when necessary. In a multi-PC
(client-server) system, proceed as follows:
Go to the specific PC, and check the Windows
task bar for an LCD/Folder symbol near the
right-hand end. (If present, the server software
is already running);
If this symbol is
not
present, use the windows
explorer to locate and open "C:\Program
Files\MONITOR AFx Director V4", and then
run (double-click) the "
MONITOR AFx
Director-Server.exe
" program.
Note:
The MONITOR AFx Director server software will
not
start up if the 'activation key' is not installed on the
AFx Director server PC (
≥
V4:
USB connector;
≤
V3.3.2:
Parallel/printer port;
V3.3.3:
Either).
To ensure the software started: Re-check the task-bar
for the LCD/Folder symbol on the right.
To have the database server start automatically when
the server is powered up or restarted, create a
'Shortcut' to the MONITOR AFx Director-Server.exe
file, and place it under "C:\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\
Start-up
" on the server PC.
The "MONITOR AFx Director-Server.exe" file can
typically be found under C:\Program Files\MONITOR
AFx Director V4. (Right-click the file, select
"Send
To"
, and then "
Desktop (Create Shortcut)"
. Then,
go to the Windows desktop, locate the shortcut, and
position and rename it as desired.)
Shutting Down the Database Server
Software
Attention:
Shutting down the server PC, or the
database-server software is NOT recommended while
any panel updates are in progress.
As well, always shut down the
Communications
software (LCD/telephone symbol) instead of the server
program if the communications software is running.
If you need to shut down the MONITOR AFx
Director database server software (server PC):
•
Ensure NO panel updates are in progress
(via any PC);
•
Go to the server PC, and shut down the
communications software if it is running on
this PC (the server program will be shut
down automatically):
Right-click the LCD/Telephone symbol if present on
the right-hand end of the Windows task bar. Then,
select
Exit
, and respond with
Yes
when asked to
confirm.
•
If the communications software is not
running on the specific PC, shut down the
server software:
Right-click the LCD/Folder symbol if present on the
right-hand end of the Windows task bar. Then,
select
Exit
, and respond with
Yes
when asked to
confirm.
Attention:
Shutting down the server PC, or the
database-server software will block all operator
workstations from accessing the database, and will
disable panel communications.
