To access a SuperTrak system remotely across a LAN
1) Install the Message Server software on to one (or more) systems on
the LAN. The system(s) chosen for the Message Server may also
include a SuperTrak66 station, be an independent station on the LAN,
or act as a network server for the LAN. All Message Agents connected
on this LAN will be visible from each instance of the Message Server.
2) Install the SuperCheck Monitoring Utility software on to each LAN
station from which you wish to monitor the SuperTrak66 array(s).
When you begin SuperCheck, you will need to perform “Adding a New
Message Server” for each Message Server installed in step 1 that you
want to monitor.
To access a SuperTrak system remotely on a WAN
1) If you have not done so already, install a Promise Message Server on
a system on the LAN. The system chosen for the Promise Message
Server installation may house a SuperTrak66, be an independent
station on the LAN, or house a network server for the LAN. For remote
Internet monitoring, the Message Server component MUST be installed
on a machine with an unique IP address that is visible to the Internet.
All Message Agents connected on this LAN will be visible for each
instance of the Promise Message Server.
2) Install the SuperCheck Monitoring utility on to each remote station
where the SuperTrak system will be monitored. When you begin
SuperCheck, you will need to “Add a New Message Server” for the
Promise server installed in Step 1 that you wish to access.
3) If the WAN to which the Monitoring utility will be connected has any
firewall protection measures, you must open the IP address for the
system (or systems) containing the Promise Message Server software
in order to connect to them over Internet/WAN. TCP/IP port number
710 and 711 are used by the Message Agent to accept in-bound
connections.
