Figure 2. Company LAN without a File Server
In the above example, there are three PCs with FastTrak SX4000 series and
S150 SX4 Controller cards connected to the company’s LAN, the same as
before. But this network has no file server, so the PAM Message Server runs on
one of the networked PCs. PAM Monitoring Utility runs on both networked PCs.
If this LAN were upgraded with a suitable router and an Internet connection, you
could set up offsite monitoring as in Figure 1.
