OverviewCodeMatrix uses a client server
architecture. This means that a single computer (the
server) will manage information centrally, and individual
users (clients) will connect to that computer. This
section describes installing the software a user needs to
access an existing server. The installer can be downloaded
from our
downloads page.
Remember
free email support is available whilst evaluating
CodeMatrix.
When the downloaded program setup.exe is run a standard
wizard style installer will be displayed. It is assumed
that the user is familiar with the general operation of
such a program. The significant pages in this installer
are described in the following sections.
Note that once the software is installed, running the
installer again will not allow the software location or
component selection to be changed, port settings may be
altered and software upgraded only. This is to protect any
Active Workspaces on the computer. If you make a mistake
and wish to start again you must first uninstall the
software by using the Add/Remove programs option in the
control panel.
Selecting components
On the select components page the user selects whether
client components, server components or both will be
installed. In this example accept the default of client
components only.
Specifying the communications settings
On this page the user enters the information required
to communicate with the server, and for local
communication. Three values must be entered.
Server address. This is a name or address which
identifies the machine which is executing the CodeMatrix
software. This may be a machine name, an IP address or a
domain name. If you are unsure what to enter here you
should ask the person responsible for the CodeMatrix
server, or your network administrator.
Server port. When the server is installed
a TCP port is selected. The same port number must be
entered here. To avoid confusion we recommend that the
default (3033) is selected for both the client and server.
If you are unsure what to enter here you should ask the
person responsible for the CodeMatrix server.
Local port. CodeMatrix uses a TCP port on the
client machine for internal communication. This can be any
number that does not represent a used port. We recommend
that the default value (3033) be used.
