setup on a PC
Setting up a Siemens Hotel Solution system involves performing the following steps on
each PC:
• Set up Windows XP Professional + SP2 and configure the network
• Install the database software Sybase SQL Anywhere 8 (server or client)
• Run the Hotel Solution setup program
• Configure the installed Hotel Solution components
This manual does not describe how to set up a PC with Windows XP Professional and
SP2 or how to configure the network. It is assumed that the PCs to be used are set up
appropriately and that they have been connected to the network.
4.1 Installing the database server (Sybase SQL
Anywhere 8)
Start SQL-Anywhere installation by running the SETUP.EXE program on the Hotel
Solution Installation CD from the proper folder and then install the current patch.
The next few pages contain illustrations of the dialog boxes requiring a response from
you during the installation procedure. This server setup is only carried out for the
database PC. All other PCs are set up with a client installation.
