Important Note for NT Users Important Note for NT Users AIR ID is a security application that tightly integrates to Window NT’s security system. Therefore care must be taken when installing and un-installing AIR ID or you may render your NT system inoperable. If you are installing or updating your AIR ID system on an NT system, it is important that you follow these instructions: • • • • • • • vi As with all NT installs you should update your emergency disk prior to any software changes to your system.
Chapter 1- AIR ID® Installation Program Chapter 1- AIR ID ® Installation Program Overview This is the Installation Guide for the Enterprise & Single Machine Edition of AIR ID. The SETUP.EXE application automatically detects your Windows operating system and determines which components and options are appropriate for this installation. Please take time to review the README.TXT file for last minute changes to this procedure and manual.
Chapter 1- AIR ID® Installation Program database differently therefore it is important that you determine this choice ahead of time. Single Machine or Enterprise Operation If you are running relatively few users on few machines, you may consider using the Single User installation. This installation places the AIR ID user database files on each machine running AIR ID. If individual users are using multiple machines, then entries will need to be made for these individuals on each machine.
Chapter 1- AIR ID® Installation Program Enroll Users: Auto-Enrollment or Administrative Enrollment Once the installation process is complete, the administrator will need to decide how the users will be enrolled into the system. Both Single Machine and Enterprise Operation allow users to be enrolled into the system using either of two different methods. Auto-Enrollment – Using this method, the users automatically enroll themselves into the system thereby freeing the administrator of this task.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Overview This section is intended for users who want to take advantage of the centralized management features of AIR ID. The Enterprise Installation allows the administrator a centralized method in which to administer the AIR ID users. First the AIR ID Server software is installed. This installation defines the centralized database and installs the necessary services on the AIR ID Server.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Choosing the AIR ID Server The first item is to choose the machine on which the AIR ID Server software will be installed. The Server software can be installed on any Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation. There are a few important items for Enterprise installations: • • • • • • The Server computer must be on the LAN and users must have access rights to the AIR ID files and directory. The Server Installation must be performed before any of the Client installations.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation During the installation you will be prompted to allow AIR ID to create a generic AIR ID user or you will be asked to specify an existing user name, password and domain for the generic AIR ID user. Most administrators prefer to provide a user with limited access. If this is your preference, you should create the user now so that this information can be provided during the AIR ID installation process.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation AIR ID Server Installation Prior to installation please make sure you have read the Important Note for NT Users. This section will give you a step by step overview of each of the installation screens. Place the AIR ID CD into the CDROM drive of the machine designated as the AIR ID Server. Using the Microsoft Windows Start button locate Run. Use the Browse feature to locate the Setup.exe file on the AIR ID CD provided.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Server Configuration Create New Account Select this option if you would like to create a new account on the NT Domain Server using the credentials entered in this screen. The account created by the AIR ID setup has administrative user privileges. The administrator may want to reduce these privileges after the setup program is finished. De-select this option if you are entering credentials for a generic AIR ID user that is already configured on the Domain Server.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation correct and exactly the same as the existing account if the account does already exist. If this data is incorrect, none of the clients will be available to access this server when they boot and a complete de-installation and re-installation of the server will be required. Share AIR ID Folder Selecting this option will create a share name on the server of the form \\\AIR ID\. This is recommended as it makes the client installation somewhat easier.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Login Files Select this option if you would like both a Client and Server installation on this workstation. This option will install the Login GINA components that will use the user database that is being installed locally for this 'server'. You should have a Base Unit attached at this point if you select this option. Application Files Select this option to install the AIR ID application files on this server.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Select Program Folder Select the Program Folder name you would like to appear in the [Start]-[Programs] menu for this installation. The default is AIR ID. Summary of Selections Make sure that the Current Settings list agrees with your selections and then proceed to the actual file copy installation by pressing Next. Restart You must Restart the workstation at this time.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Client Installation for Enterprise Usage Windows 95/98 and NT/2000 Workstation This section will give you a step by step overview of each of the installation screens. Client installation is very similar to the Server Installation described above. As with any NT installation, be sure to review the Important Notes for NT Users. Place the AIR ID CD into the CDROM drive of the client machine. Using the Microsoft Windows Start button locate Run.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Hit the Next button after making the selections. Client Configuration NOTE: For Windows 9x client installation there is a section of the installation that may take several minutes. This portion is run in a DOS mode, with a black background screen. This section checks and converts Windows applications to be compatible to run under Windows profile mode.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation For NT installations, you must provide an appropriate account that the AIR ID software can use for the login process. It is recommended that you use the Use AIR ID Account option. This is the account that was created or specified during the AIR ID Server installation. Win9x installations should just select this option as the account information is not needed by the Win9x system.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation Core Files This option is required and will always install, regardless of selection. Login Files This option will install the Login GINA components that will access the user database that has been installed on the 'server'. This is the Key component in the system and should always be selected. Application Files Select this option to install the AIR ID application files on this client. This component is necessary to perform administrative functions from this computer.
Chapter 2- Enterprise Installation located in a path that adheres to the older '8.3' file format with no spaces. The default directory is C:\RFIDTLC. After making the entries, select the Next button to continue to the component screen. Summary of Selections Make sure that the Current Settings list agrees with your selections and then proceed to the actual file copy installation by pressing Next. Display You can choose to display the Readme.
Chapter 3- Single Machine Installation Chapter 3- Single Machine Installation Overview The Single Machine installation differs from this Enterprise installation in that the AIR ID database is stored locally at each machine. This choice must be used for systems that are not connected to the network. It is also a good choice when relatively few machines are protected with AIR ID or when users are responsible for the administration of their own machines.
Chapter 3- Single Machine Installation Enter your name and company and press Next. Application Destination Folder Choose the location for the local copy of the AIR ID system using the Browse button as shown in the following figure.

Login Files This option will install the Login GINA components that will access the user database that has been installed on the 'server'. This is the Key component in the system and should always be selected.
Chapter 3- Single Machine Installation database may be accessed by the AIR ID application files residing on any machine on the network. Database Files Select this component to install the database files locally. This is selected by default since we have specified a nonEnterprise Client installation. Hit the Next button to proceed to the next screen. Select Program Folder Select the Program Folder name you would like to appear in the [Start]-[Programs] menu for this installation.

Chapter 3- Single Machine Installation AIR ID User’s Guide After the stand-alone Client installation has been completed, refer to the AIR ID User’s Guide for information on how to use AIR ID.
