Installation guide

minutes and, although staggered, performance issues have been reported when many Clients

are downloading the new IMPAX Client software.

Therefore, we recommend:

• Using a third-party software distribution application (for example, Microsoft SMS or Altiris)

to avoid saturation of the Application Server. Consult your regional Agfa representative for

options.

• Placing the Installation Server on a dedicated server.

If you choose to install the IMPAX Installation Server package on a dedicated server, use the Web

Server Certificate Wizard to create a certificate request to submit to a trusted certificate authority,

and install the certificate.You must install the SSL certificate on the dedicated server before installing

the IMPAX Installation Server package.

The Installation Server Setup package contains:

• The installers (or links) for the IMPAX Client prerequisites:

• .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

• Visual C++ 9.0 SP1

• DirectX

• The IMPAX Client Installer

• A web page with links to:

• IMPAX Client system requirements

• IMPAX Client installation instructions (available in all supported languages)

• Links to the IMPAX Client Installer

• Links to the individual prerequisites

Running the IMPAX Installation Server package

(Topic number: 7758)

CAUTION!

To avoid performance issues, do not install the IMPAX Installation Server on a standalone

IMPAX workstation (a workstation running the AS300, Application Server, and Client software).

You can install an IMPAX Installation Server to use as a distribution tool for Client installations and

updates.
