Client PC Requirements
DECT Messenger client modules are supported on any PC capable of running the supported
operating systems. A DVD drive is required in order to install the product.
Optional hardware
Depending on the way DECT Messenger is being used, there are several hardware devices
that may be needed in order to use certain features:
• National Instruments equipment for digital input/output (contacts) and analogue input for
software module eIO. This is only required if you use the eIO software module.
• V.24 multi-port card
• Analogue Modem for dialing to GSM provider to send SMS messages. This is only
required to send SMS messages to a GSM (cell phone) provider using a dial-in option.
Database server requirements
DECT Messenger optionally uses Microsoft SQL Server to store data (the choice is presented
when installing in Server mode). In most cases, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition
is sufficient; a copy is distributed with the DECT Messenger DVD.
If necessary, you can use a non-Express edition of SQL Server (e.g. for maintenance tools
and to increase the database size limits).
Installation of non-Express editions is not covered by this guide and is subject to additional
licensing costs to Microsoft. DECT Messenger supports SQL Server 2005 and 2008
editions.
Note:
During the installation, the system administrator (sa) account is used. Make sure you know
the password for the sa account and that the SQL Server is configured to run in mixed mode
(SQL Server and Windows Authentication).
