Chapter I MonitorOnline Installation Prerequisites

The data management of MonitorOnline software is based on SQL_SERVER database. Therefore, SQL_SERVER database needs to be installed in advance to achieve the monitoring and recording of the entire system data.
Microsoft NET Framework 4.5 and database (SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 or SQL server 2008 or SQL server 2008R2 or SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2016 or SQL server 2017) must be set up before installing MonitorOnline software. The current mainstream databases are SQL Server 2008 and SQL server 2008R2.
SQL_SERVER Installation Environment
Operating System Requirements: according to the following table 1.0.
Computer Configuration Requirements: 4-core CPU, 4G RAM or more, 500G disk space.

Table.1.0 Operating System

Note: : Supporting this system;
\ : No such system.
Once Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 and SQL_SERVER are installed, you can start to install MonitorOnline Management Software, and please noted the selection of language during installation.

1.1 Login SSMS
The network management software needs to connect the database remotely to implement the operation, so it is necessary to make the pre-connected database and open the remote function before running MonitorOnline software. The specific steps as following:

Step One: Open SQL Server Management Studio and login as windows, then right click SQL Server , choose Properties (see Fig.1.1).  Step Two: After clicking “Properties” choose on the left, then choose Server and Windows Authentication in Server authentication to enable hybrid login mode (see Fig.1.2).

Step Three: Choose “Connections” on the left, check remote connections to this then click button (see Fig.1.3).

Step Four: Unfold “Security’-> “Logins’-> “sa”, then right click “sa” and choose “Properties” (see Fig. 1.4).
Note: The user name can only be “sa”, cannot be modified.

Step Five: Choose “General” on the left, then choose “SQL Server authentication” on the right and set password, click “OK” button (see Fig.1.5). Step Six: Choose “Status” on the left, choose “Grant” and “Enabled” on the right and click “OK” button (see Fig.1.6).

Step Seven: Back to SQL Server Management Studio login interface, right click SQL Server, choose “Facets” (see Fig.1.7).

Step Eight: Choose “Server Configuration” from the drop-down box of “Facets” and set the properties of “Remote Access Enabled” as “true”, then click “OK” button (see Fig.1.8).
Note: Now, SSMS has been set up. Exit first, then log in with “sa”. If it is successful, it means the “sa” account is enabled. Otherwise, please check whether the network connection can be pinged. If the network connection is normal, please further confirm whether you followed the above steps. 1.2 Deploy SSMS
Step Nine: Open SQL Server Configuration Manager to start configuring SSCM , choose “SQL Server Services” on the left, please make sure the state of “SOL Server” and “SQL Server Browser” is running on the right (see Fig.1.9).
Note: It is usually necessary to reboot SQL Server after shutdown and restart, but SQL Server is still running after closing the SQL Server Configuration Manager program box.

Step Ten: Choose “Protocols for MSSQLSERVER” under the node of SQL Server Network Configuration on the left. The default status of TCP/IP is Disabled (see Fig.1.10). Please set status of TCP/IP as “Enable” by right click or opening TCP/IP Properties interface by double click (see Fig1.11), then modify “active” to “yes”, click “OK” button.
Note: TCP/IP protocol is generally enabled, and can be tested by ping.

Step Eleven: Right click “TCP / IP’, select “IP Address” under “Properties” or double click to open the settings panel and select the “IP Address” tab, then set the port of TCP as “1433”, and click “OK” button. (see Fig.1.12).
Step Twelve: Set TCP/IP of Client Protocols as “Enable” . (see Fig.1.13)

Step Thirteen: Turn off the firewall or add SQL Serve.exe to the program list that allows the firewall to run. If you choose the latter, please open the firewall settings to add SQLServr.exe (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server \MSSQL10. SQLEXPRESS\ MSSQL\ Binn\sqlservr.exe) to the allowed list, the concrete steps are as follows:
(1) Click the “start” to open control panel
(2) Click “View network status and tasks” (see Fig.1.14)(3) Click “Windows Firewall” in Fig.1.15, the interface will pop up” (see Fig.1.16)(4) Click “Allow a program of feature through Windows Firewall” (see Fig.1.16).(5) Click “Changes settings” button and “Allow another program” button (see Fig.1.17). Then add “SQLServr.exe” to the list of allowed list according to the path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe” (6) Click “Browse” and open Program Files folder in C (see Fig.1.18). (7) Open “Microsoft SQL Server” folder (see Fig.1.19). (8) Open “MsSQL10.MSSQLSERVER” folder (see Fig.1.20). Then open “MssQL” folder (9) Open “Binn” folder (see Fig.1.21). (10) Double-click “sqlservr” (see Fig.1.22). (11) Click “Add” button to add SQL Server Windows NT-64bit to “Allow Programs“(see Fig.1.23). (13) The configuration is complete now. Please start SQL Server Management Studio and login.
Note:
If you open SQL Server Management Studio before starting SQL Server and SQL Server Browser, you need to shut it down and then restartit.

Chapter II MonitorOnline Installation Procedures

2.1 MonitorOnline Installation
Double-click MonitorOnline.exe or MonitorOnline.msi of MonitorOnline.exe folder to install MonitorOnline. Please keep going to the next step until the installation is successful (see Fig.2.1)
Note: Based on the software version in the CD. The Shortcut will be created after installing Monitor Online, as shown in Fig.2.2. 2.2 Connect Database
