plug-in for UNIX and other platforms, go to: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/ index.html.

The MarkVision Client application and the Web Client are essentially the same program. All information that is being managed by the MarkVision Server is available to users of either the application or Web Client. The only differences are that the application does not require installation of the Java plug-in and may require less startup time because some files are stored locally on the user’s workstation. However, anyone who does not run MarkVision Professional on a regular basis, or who is not currently working from their workstation, should use the Web Client version of MVP. In this case, there is no need to install any MarkVision files in order to use the client.

MarkVision Messenger

MarkVision Messenger works with MarkVision Professional to provide technicians with e-mail notification or command line execution when a network printer triggers a pre-defined event (such as Paper Tray Missing, Toner Low, and many more). The heart of MarkVision Messenger is a “service” that runs inside the MarkVision Server. To use this service, the user creates “actions” using a browser-based interface. Users can access MarkVision Messenger either by launching it from the Action menu in the MVP application, or by using the URL http://<yourserver>/messenger in your browser. For more information, see the MarkVision Messenger section of this User’s Guide.

MarkVision Server

The MarkVision Server is the engine that powers MarkVision. The MarkVision Server is the single point of contact between an instance of the MarkVision Client and all of the devices that MVP manages. The first time a client requests information, the MarkVision Server gathers the new information from the device and stores it in a cache. Each subsequent request for the same information is then retrieved from the cache. This saves valuable network resources by eliminating redundant network traffic from duplicate requests.

The MarkVision Server also eliminates the complexity of talking to a wide variety of network devices. Client programs only need to send a single protocol to the server, which in turn knows how to communicate with the devices.

In order for the system architecture to work, at least one MarkVision Server must exist on a network. It is possible to install multiple instances of the MarkVision Server on a network, however, a client can only connect with one server at a time.

MarkVision Web Server

MarkVision Professional provides a web server for the browser-based components of the product (MVP Web Client and MarkVision Messenger) as part of the MarkVision Professional package. The MVP Web Server is automatically installed along with the MarkVision Server.

During installation, you are given the option to make the MarkVision web server the default server on the machine. This allows the browser-based application to access the server from the standard port (80), which requires no additional numbering in the URL. If this option is not selected, the MVP Web
