56 Logging Server

56.1Introduction

With the Logging Server, the events generated by a maximum of 64 systems can be logged. Typically, the Logging Server runs on a PC that is connected to all systems of which the events are logged. The Logging Server stores the events in a database. The events in the database can be viewed with up to 5 Logging Viewers (see chapter 57).

56.2Requirements

The Logging Server can run on any PC that meets the following minimum requirements:

•Operating system:

Microsoft® Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or Microsoft® Windows Vista or

Microsoft® Windows 7

•Network connection: 100 base-T

•1 GB RAM

•Free disk space: depends on the amount of events that must be stored, but it is recommended to have at least 10 GB of free disk space.

•It is good practice to keep the PC updated with the latest Windows updates. This makes sure that the PC contains the most recent version and service packs of the Microsoft® Jet 4.0 database, which is used by the Logging Server. (See http://support.microsoft.com/ common/international.aspx).

4 Follow the instructions that are displayed on screen. A notification is displayed when the installation is finished.

The interface for the Logging Server is available in different languages. During installation of the Logging Server a number of language file folders have been installed in:

\Program Files\Bosch\Praesideo\Programs\Logging Server. The language file folders have names according to the international 2-letter language code (ISO 639), for example; 'en' for English, 'ru' for Russian.

5Check this folder to see if your language is available. If a language folder exists for the language of the installed Windows operating system, then that is the language of the Logging Server. If a different language is needed and a language folder exists for

that language, proceed as follows:

6Add a language parameter to the Logging Server program. The parameter is the 2-letter language abbreviation, e.g. " fi", i.e. a space followed by the language code. For the Logging Server, go to the startup folder to add the parameter:

Start > Programs > Startup > Logging Server.
