software on any additional PCs as required.

Cyclic-ID Codes at each client PC: After

installing the software at each client

workstation, start the software, open H

elp,

bout... and jot down the "Cyclic-ID" code,

as this will be needed to 'tell' the server to

allow database access for each of these

workstations.

This is required for the VEREX Director software, as

well as the Communications software, as

applicable.

(To start the software, open the Start menu, select

VEREX Director V4, followed by Programs, and

VEREX Director.) Tip: If you prefer,

you can cut-and-paste the ID codes into "Notepad"

or "MS Word", and use a floppy-disk to transport the

file to the server PC (for registration).

Similarly, you'll need to record the

"Cyclic-ID" code from the

Communications software on each PC to

be associated with an alarm panel

connection (in addition to the VEREX

Director ID/code, as applicable). Detail

Check the Windows taskbar for an

LCD/keypad symbol.

If the LCD/telephone symbol is not present, start

the communications service as follows:

From the Start menu, select Programs,

ÖAdministrative Tools, ÖComponent Services.

Then, select the "Services" tab, locate VEREX

Director-Communication in the list, right-click it,

and select "Start".

If prompted for the Server Name: Enter or select

the name (or IP address) associated with the server

PC, and click OK (press F1 if you'd like more

information).

If a Device Configuration Screen Appears

: If the

"Direct-Cable-Connection" or modem that you'll be

using has already been set up on the PC, you can

select it now (press F1 if you'd like more

information). When finished with this screen, click

OK. Otherwise, click Cancel to close the device-

configuration screen.

Then, right-click the LCD/Telephone

symbol near the right-hand end of the

Windows task-bar, and select About from

the pop-up menu.

Note: A different "Cyclic-ID" code will appear each

time you open the "H

elp, About" screen. Any of

these numbers can be used for the specific

software application/PC combination.

6) When finished, be sure to place the CD in a

safe place. Reminder: If is best to perform a

database backup right away. For details, refer to

"Backing Up or Restoring the Database".

Notice: After upgrading, previous database

'backups' may not be supported. Perform a new

database backup right away. For details, refer to

"Backing Up or Restoring the Database".

Note: Your software (single PC, or database

server) will need to be activated as described under

"Software Activation and Licensing" (default

licensing is valid for 90 days only).

Client-server Note: Once the "Cyclic-ID" has been

obtained from all client PCs, this information will

need to be entered at the server (to activate the

client PCs). For details, refer to "Client/Server

Access and Permissions".
