• Clicking the “Enable Data Server” button will create the server on the Port Number specified and allow devices to connect to it.
• Clicking the Port Number will bring up a keyboard dialog allowing you to change the value.

DB Settings

• This screen is used to change the database for the data that the application generates. By default it will be set to SQL CE (stored on the machine).
• If your application is connecting to a SQL Server Database, select “SQL Server” from the “Database Provider” list and enter all the connection information in their respective boxes.
• If your application is connecting to another DD device to store its data, select “Remote” from the “Database Provider” list and enter the Port Number Set up on the other device that it is listening on.

Sharing Database

Primary DD:

1. Under the Server page Check the box [X] Enable Data Server

2. Make note of the Port Number (Default is 8095)

3. Make note of the IP Address

   • If the network is DHCP then the indicator should be automatically assigned an address, however you will want to static set this address on the primary DD so that is doesn’t change.

   • To statically set and address first obtain the address settings from the customer IT group or if you are using a crossover cable or your own network switch you can set one yourself.

   • In this example, we will use IP Address 192.168.1.10 for the primary indicator iP address.

   • To Set the address on the primary indicator

   • Navigate to the Start Menu -> Settings -> Network and Dial-Up Connections
     

   • DB-Click on the DM9CE1 (or AX88772B1 in Skynet) icon

   • Mark the button the states Specify an IP Address and enter the address 192.168.1.10 and gateway address of 255.255.255.0

   • Click Ok to accept the changes and close the Network window

4. On Skynet Version, using mouse, open task bar, press start, scroll to programs, scroll to calibri tools, scroll and click on SaveReg, Click OK. IP is lost on reboot if skipped.

5. Close the Server window and tape on the Settings icon on the Database Page

6. Make a note of the Database Name field (default is STANDARD TRUCK.sdf)

7. Using mouse, open task bar, press start, scroll to programs, calibri tools, and click on SaveReg, then Click OK. Settings are lost on reboot if this is not done.

8. Close the Settings page and reboot the primary indicator.

Setup Slave DD

1. On the slave DD follow previous steps 3.I through 3.IV. However, this time set the slave DD IP Address to 192.168.1.20 and a gateway of 255.255.255.0
2. Under the Database Page tap the Settings icon
3. Under the Database provider, select Remote
4. Under Port Number enter 8095 (unless you changed it in step 2 of the primary setup
5. Under Data Source enter the IP Address from the primary DD, in this example it is 192.168.1.10
6. Under Database Name enter the information collected in the primary setup step 5. (Default is STANDARD TRUCK.sdf)
7. Double check your settings and tap Ok Using mouse, open task bar,
8. For Skynet only: press start, scroll to programs, calibri tools, and click on SaveReg, then Click OK. Settings are lost on reboot if this is not done.
