312 VEREX Director V4.73 User's Guide 21-0381E v4.7.3

Client Access (Allowable Client

List)

Tip: This is not needed (does not apply) for

communications client software on the same PC as the

Director-server.

Allowable Client List

In a cl ient/server system, client workstations

are given acc ess to the ce ntral database by

identifying them to the serv er. (After in stalling

the VEREX Director software at the server and

client workstations.)

Note: This requires obtaining a "Cyclic-ID" code from

the VEREX Director software running on each client PC

(main program, and the communications module).

Communications Client Software

: Client access

pertains separately to communications client software,

although the concept of permissions does not apply

(i.e., you need to obtain the 'Cyclic-ID' code from the

communications client software and 'register' it here as

an allowed client, but the permission setting is ignored).

Director Server and Workstations

: The Director

server PC is not to be confused with your network

server PC, or any network-related components,

software, or drivers. Director Server

: The (networked)

PC that contains the VEREX Director database, and the

database-server component of the Director software;

Exception: For systems managed under SQL server,

the Director-server PC contains the "... Director-

Server.exe" software module, and the Director

database will be stored on the MS SQL server PC;

Validation Certificate for each

Communication Client

For secure I P panel communications and

reporting/monitoring via HSC-I P, Dir ector

≥V4.72 allo ws the use of "certificates" a s an

extra mea sure of security. These ca n be

obtained through your dealer.

Note: Certificates appear here only for communications

clients, and apply only for secure (encrypted) IP

communications.

Obtaining the "Cyclic ID" Codes from

Each Client

A security co de must be obtained from each

client PC tha t is to be gi ven access to the

VEREX Director database.

(This is required for the VEREX Director software, as

well as the Communications software, as applicable.)

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. (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: If the LCD/Telephone icon on the Windows

taskbar is black-and-white (colour = running), start the

communications service by right-clicking the icon, and

selecting "Start Communications".
