Installing Workstations

The Workstation Program is installed from the Blue CD. This program performs the scanning, storage, and viewing functions.
The Blue CD is installed on each station which contains Advisors Assistant if you want that user to be able to scan and/or view documents. The Workstation Installation performs the following functions:
•Installs the Scanning Program
•Installs the Viewing Program
•Provides information necessary to connect to the Document Server

Configuring The Workstation
This screen sets up the workstation to communicate with the Document Server. All you really need to do is to determine the computer name of the document server. If you're an IT person, you can also use the IP address, but the computer name is easier.
Configuring The Station To Talk To The Server
We have devoted an entire topic to determining the Server's computer name because it is displayed differently by Windows XP, Vista, and Windows Server. Click HERE for information on how to determine the computer name.
You can also wait and enter the name of the Document Server when you start the Advisors Assistant program from inside of Advisors Assistant. If it does not find the Document Server, it will automatically take you to a setup screen.
Imaging Assistant Document Server IP or Computer Name
The workstation must know where the documents are stored. Documents are located on the Document Server. You can refer to the Document Server by its IP Address (It you are an IT person) or by the Computer's Name, if you are a mere mortal. There is a separate topic devoted to the computer name. Click HERE to jump to that topic.
Do not change the port unless you are an IT person and there is a conflict on Port 9090.
A computer or server will have hundreds of remote ports. The Document Server's "Port" is opened during the installation of the Server's CD. The number of the port is not as important except that it should not be a port that is used by any other application generally talking to servers.
We chose port 9090 after searching the Internet for port numbers used by other applications. All port numbers on the stations must be the same as the server port.
