Introduction
Installation
It is recommended to select the Simple Installation option. Selecting this option allows
the installation to use all default settings and requires minimal user interaction.
For advanced users, the Expert Installation option may be selected. Selecting this
option allows the installation to be customized, including selecting destination paths,
passwords, TCP ports, and other options as applicable.
All computers in a client/server conguration must be on the same network. All client
computers must be able to see and have access to the server computer. If your network
supports using Virtual Private Network (VPN) software, you may be able to install and
run LogWare from client computers over the internet. Consult your system or network
administrator for more information and assistance.
Note: Installing LogWare on a network may require you to enable le sharing
and congure rewall settings on the server computer. If you have never per-
formed these operations, are not familiar with how to do this, or if you are unfa-
miliar with these terms, you may want to consult your system or network admin-
istrator before beginning the installation process.
The LogWare III Server installation process attempts to automatically congure all
necessary settings on the server computer to allow client computers to connect and use
LogWare, including setting up a shared folder on the network, granting all users full
control to the shared folder and conguring the Windows® Firewall with an excep-
tion for a TCP port. If the installation fails to congure any of these settings, or if you
are using 3rd party rewall software, a To Do list is generated and displayed when the
installation process is complete. Review this list carefully as you may be required to
congure some or all of these settings manually before using LogWare. Refer to Sec-
tion 1.6.3.1, Sharing a Folder, on page 13 and Section 1.6.3.2, Server Firewall Con-
guration and File Sharing, on page 15 for more details on how to manually congure
these settings on the server computer.
