Specifications

The DMP SQL Module allows larger corporate users to take advantage of existing Microsoft SQL Server

installations they already have in place. This module allows an administrator to configure an ODBC

connection to an existing Microsoft SQL Server installation, on which it will then create the database

structure necessary to store all of the DMP panel programming information.

The module also allows the administrator to export all existing DMP panel programming information

from the standard DBISAM database, and then import that information into a newly created Microsoft

SQL database. The SQL Module is an add-on module to your Remote Link and System Link software

programs.

Remote Link is designed to use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. All editions of Microsoft SQL Server

2008 R2 are supported, including the SQL Server 2008 Express edition.

Both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of SQL Server are supported by Link. Install the version that

corresponds to the operating system version of the machine which the Server will operate. For

example, if running the server on Windows 7 64-bit, install the 64-bit version of SQL Server.

Note: Remote Link and SQL Server do not have to be installed on the same machine. Using

Remote Link on a 32-bit machine with SQL Server on a 64-bit machine (or vice-versus) is

supported.

Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express also installs the database and management tools including SQL

Server Management Studio (SSMS). This tool can be used to connect and examine the database used

by Remote Link.

If Remote Link is configured to use SQL Server via a DSN and is not able to log in at startup, a login

screen will appear:
