Configuring a Distributed System
Before you can use your distributed system, you must configure the Server Plus
Station so the Client SC Stations can access the Server Plus Station.
To configure your distributed system:
1. On the Server Plus Station, select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager >
Station Configuration from the Windows taskbar.
2. In the Station Configuration dialog,
click Add.
3. Enter the computer name of the
Client SC Station PC (see
“Determining computer names” on
page 50), and click OK. The station
name is not case-sensitive. Do not
include a domain name or any
other characters that are not part
of the computer name. Use station
names of 15 ISO Latin-1 characters
or less.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each
licensed Client SC Station, and click Close when done.
Installing SNAP-ON applications
After you have installed and licensed your AMS Device Manager software, you can
install SNAP-ON applications. Each SNAP-ON application is licensed separately and
will not run if your station is not licensed for it.
Additional installation requirements may apply to a SNAP-ON application. Before you
install a SNAP-ON application, check its documentation to confirm that all installation
requirements are satisfied.
To install a SNAP-ON application:
1. Make sure the Windows Control Panel is not open and exit all Windows
programs, including any programs that may be running in the background such
as antivirus software.
2. Insert the AMS Device Manager program DVD in the DVD drive of the PC.
3. Browse to D:\SNAP-ONS And Tools\SNAP-ONS\Installs\<Folder Name> (where D
is the DVD drive letter and <Folder Name> is the name of the folder for the SNAP-
ON application to be installed).
4. Double-click the appropriate setup file.
