User's Manual

This is the most extended type of database. SQL Server provides a user interface
to perform Database maintenance. You must install the DECT Messenger database
in MS SQL Server manually.
MS SQL Server is a licensed product. For more information about the license
structure, consult the Microsoft WEB Site. The MS SQL Server also requires MS
Windows 2000/2003 Server.
The DECT Messenger eKERNEL and the eWEB modules have access to the
database through ODBC.
You must set up the ODBC link in the ODBC, which is described in Installing
ODBC.
How to set up the Databases
Setting up the databases is described in
Installing and getting started on page 81. However,
you must decide which type of database to use (MS Access or MSDE).
Note:
If you decide to change database type after the installation is completed, in most cases you
can easily switch between the two. However, you cannot change database type from MS
Access/MSDE to SQL Server, if you are running Windows 2000/2003/XP Professional,
because for SQL Server you must have Windows 2000/2003 Server.
Installing and getting started
After installation you must make some changes to have a functioning system. To install the
software, follow the actions in the procedures in the following sections.
Switch the Default WEB access in IIS off to avoid conflicts with the Apache WEB server in
DECT Messenger
Stopping IIS WEB Services
Note:
This section is only applicable if Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed in your
Windows 2000 configuration, and the Apache Server is installed for DECT Messenger WEB
access.
If the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed in Windows, you must stop the
IIS WEB Services, otherwise IIS conflicts with the Apache Server. Stopping the WEB services
of IIS is described in Stopping WEB Services IIS for DECT Messenger on page 82.
