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 installe d on
the same network computer.
