The Network Server

The network server contains the following applications:

Database Server (SQL server or the Access application): enables access to various database tables, such as MCU list, Users list, and Groups

Internet Information Services (IIS) Server: runs the Web pages and enables users to access these pages via the Internet and make conference reservations

MGC Web Server: communicates with the IIS server, the Database server, and the MCUs. This is the core of all the data exchange performed in the Web site. Using the MGC Web Server Manager application, users manage the MCUs connected to the Server, add database accesses via the Web pages, and manage the reservation pages.

The SQL server and the IIS server can be installed on separate servers, however it is recommended that all three server-applications be installed on the same network computer.
