2-1 Overview
This section provides an overview of the steps required for the installation and basic configuration
of the eServer soware onto a computer, and installation of the additional Magellan Crystal Report
additions if required.
2-2 Pre-installation Tasks
2-2.1 Overview
Prior to installing eServer v1.20 or greater there are a series of pre-installation tasks to undertake.
This includes gathering all the required information to make the installation process easier, and
preparing site computer security settings to facilitate an easy setup process.
2-2.2 Remote Access, Ports and Security Information
2-2.2.1 Internet Access
You may use an existing and available Broadband Cable/ADSL Internet Connection, however in this
scenario the site will need to have a DNS name or static IP address setup through the Internet
Service Provider (ISP), and also allow the opening of Ports through their Firewall / Router.
The installation program for eServer v1.20 or greater automatically creates and congures the necessary web page
les on your computer in the location c:\MyWebPages. Once eServer and the ATOM Reports Component (if required)
have been installed, you will have to check the security settings for c:\MyWebPages and your computer's Internet
Information Services Settings.
See the following for more information:
• 2-5 Security Access to the c:\MyWebPages Directory
• Chapter 3 - Configuring Internet Information Services (IIS)
NOTE
If the site IT Sta deny the setup of required ports, a separate ADSL internet connection will need to be provided to a
dedicated computer. This computer can be congured with a Static External IP address and congured to have Port
Forwarding. In this instance, IT Sta will only need to enable Port 80 for internet connection and accept outgoing
connections on 1433, 20000 and 20001, not incoming through their own Firewalls. Regardless, the computer running
eServer and iComm needs to have the full incoming and outgoing connections to the Ports setup.
NOTE
Many of the processes within the Pre-installation Tasks assume a moderate to high degree of technical IT expertise. It is
recommended to consult with the site IT Manager for assistance and site specic security settings where required.
