Specify the Server’s function

1. Click the appropriate radio button to specify the function

of the Server:

• choose

Live

if you wish the Server to function in the

“live” mode, receiving and processing real time data
from the R3000.

• choose

Archive

if you wish the Server to function in

the “archive” mode, solely as a receptacle for histor-
ical, archived files. In this mode, “old” files placed on
the Server can be viewed using the Client reporting
application.

2. Click

Apply

to confirm your selection. The mode you

specify will immediately be in effect.

TIP

: After choosing the function for the ER Server box on the
