Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 254)

11 Client server
11.1 Client/server operation
Client/Server operation enables multiple clients to share and download configurations to
one or more matrices using a central server which runs EHX.
The application ensures that while a user is editing a configuration, other users are
prohibited from also making edits to the same configuration.
If client/server operation is being used then all the EHX PCs on the network should be
configured to run in this mode.

11.1.1 Client
EHX must be installed on each client that is used to make edits to configurations or update
racks. The user chooses the server to use when logging in as EHX starts up. The server
distinguishes between clients by Username.
11.1.2 Server
The server controls all communications between the clients and the matrices. The server
stores all of the projects and ensures that when one configuration is being edited by a
client, no other client can edit that configuration at the same time.
The server must also be running IIS (Internet Information Services - a web server provided
by Microsoft).
The EHX server provides the back-end services, such as map-building, configuration
sharing, and access to the matrices. Clients access the server with an Ethernet
connection.
