Chapter 4 FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Software Installation
• Windows 2003 R2 Server, set up in the Application Server role. ASPNET must be installed. Active Server Pages
must be enabled in Internet Information Services. Network COM+ Access must be enabled. The server can not
be set up as a Domain Server. FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software installation on Windows 2000 Server is no
longer supported.
• SQL 2005 or 2008 Server, installed and set up for mixed mode authentication (SQL Server and Windows).
TCP/IP access must be enabled.
• If the SQL database server is hosted on a remote server, you must download from Microsoft (if necessary) and
install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 Express Edition on the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server. This installs
the osql.exe application FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software uses to connect to the remote database.
• IIS 6, 7, or 7.5 installed and enabled to run.
2. You must use a machine administrator login in Windows and have full administrator rights for SQL.
3. Ping all Ethernet devices (meters and/or controllers) the customer wishes to connect to.
• Correct communication to any meters that don't respond.
• Verify communication with Allen-Bradley Ethernet power monitors via their built-in web page.
Installation
1. Verify the Application Server role configuration in the host Windows Server operating system.
These are the minimum required components:
• ASPNET
• COM+ Services
• Internet Information Services (IIS), all options
Make any necessary changes before proceeding with the installation.
2. If not already installed, install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 (NOT included in FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix
base software but 2008 is available as a bundled option).
3. Using Internet Information Services manager, verify that ASP.NET version 2.0 is selected in the default web page
properties.
If it is not, select ASP.NET version 2.0 and run IISRESET before installing the software.
4. Insert the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software installation DVD into the server’s DVD drive.
IMPORTANT SQL Server must be set up with mixed-mode authentication (Windows and SQL Server). You can make this selection
during initial installation or by using Enterprise Manager and editing the server properties, security tab after installation.
We recommend that you do not use the default system administrator login (username = ‘sa’, password = “”) due to known
security issues. Record the system administrator login credentials as you will be prompted to enter them when you install
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software. The same SQL database login will be required when the software is upgraded to a
new version eventually.
IMPORTANT If the SQL Server is to be hosted on another computer, download (if needed) and install SQL Server 2005 or 2008 Express
Edition on the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server at this time.
