How to set up the Databases

Setting up the databases is described in “Installing and getting started”

(page 85). 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

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.
