Chapter 4 - Using autoDialer
autoDialer provides redundancy for adManage schedule
distribution, verification and log file retrieval from the headends
and central office. It can also be used with disconnected headends
to manage schedules and verifications. It communicates with each
headend and the adManage application via LAN/WAN or over a standard
dial up connection.
Client PC Installation
To install autoDialer on a client Windows PC (not the TBGS) you
will need to be on the same LAN/WAN as the TBGS and will need
to mapa network drive to the TBGS data folder before installing the
software.
To map a network drive:
1. Right click Start > Explore.
2. Enter \\IPA in the address field where IPA is the IP address of the TBGS
server. (Use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.)
3. Right click on the shared TBGS folder on the server and select
“Map Network Drive” from the drop down menu.
4. Enter a Drive letter. Use one that is available (typically Z:\) and
select “Reconnect at logon”.
You may now run the autoDialer software installer. The instructions
for Installing the software on a Client PC or the TBGS are the same.
To install autoDialer either insert the software CD on your
computer or double-click the install file if you have been provided one.
