Nuance Management Center

Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance Management Server
Who works on the network
Two types of people work on the network:
n System Administrators — Manage the entire system through the Nuance
Management Center.
n Users or end users — Dictate using the Dragon Client.
Stand Alone Mode
You can also run Dragon Group in stand alone mode.
Stand alone mode functions like previous versions of Dragon Group, where Dragon is not
connected to the Nuance Management Server, and you install and administer Dragon on
the same machine.
If you run Dragon in stand alone mode rather than connected to the NMS, you will see the
following differences:
• Sharing of words, commands, and command sets is not available through the NMS. The
Administrator can use a command-line tool to share these objects between multiple Dragon
Group installations. For more information, see Appendix: Managing Custom Words and
Commands in Stand Alone Mode on page 1.
• The Administrative Settings - Roaming tab is available.
• The Administrative Settings - Miscellaneous tab is available.
• The Connection Center is not available.
• The Enable NMS option on the NMS Settings tab is disabled.
