5 Connection Magic Local
Connection Magic Local is server software that enables you to use Connection Magic
when there is no internet available.
Connection Magic Local (CM Local) uses a wireless router and software provided by
Advantage Software to create a Local Area Network running the same Connection Magic
server that is used online by Advantage Software. Being able to run in a non-internet setting is
ideal for courthouses where the internet may not be available, or for portable use. When you
want to send your realtime data to clients running Bridge or Bridge Mobile, but don't have
internet access, you can use CMLocal, with a Bridge Broadcaster.
To set up Connection Magic Local:
1. Purchase a wireless router and a Bridge Broadcaster from Advantage Software.
2. Obtain the CMLocal software from Advantage Software.
3. Run the program. When the "Welcome to Connection Magic Setup" screen appears, click
Next.
4. The next screen let's you "Choose install location." Generally, you should accept the default
by clicking Install.
5. The last screen says "Connection Magic Local has been installed on your computer." Click
Finish.
6. When the program is finished installing, there will be a Connection Magic Local icon on
your desktop
To start a session, double click the desktop icon.
The Connection Magic Server opens a window, showing that the Server has started.
