5. DCOM Configuration

The OPC Server can be used in a configuration with the server and client on separate PCs. To do this

he DCOM protocol is used to communicate between the PCs.

To configure DCOM to allow the PCs to communicate, follow the instructions for the appropriate

operating system. The configuration must be done with a user that is in the Administrators group.

NOTE: The Gateway module (8170) already has the default settings configured correctly. Therefore

only the OPC Server specific settings need to be applied.

When configured, the same username and password must be used on the OPC Server PC and the

OPC client PC. The users must be members of the Administrators group on their respective PCs.

Note that the example figures below will appear differently on Windows 2000, XP service pack 1 and

XP service pack 2.
