11.2 Associating Workbench with the Workbench Database
Workbench requires a working connection to the Workbench database. Until connected to the
database, the Install Helper displays the connection as red (required by Workbench, but not
yet installed).
There are three options for connecting to a Workbench database:
• Create a new blank database.
• Connect to the existing database on the Door PC (or other PC on the network if the
database has already been installed elsewhere).
• Move the existing database from the router Door PC to a server or client/server and
then connect Workbench to it.
Important:
The Workbench database must be installed on the server. Therefore, unless already
installed, install SQL Server Express and SQL Server Management Studio (or the optional
SQLDBTool) on the server.
Fig 36. Configuration Helper
Important:
• When the Workbench database is installed on the Door PC the Door PC can
support one or more Workbench clients (configuration only) and/or RollCall clients.
• If one or more LiveRunner client is to be connected to the Door PC the Workbench
database must be hosted on a separate Workbench server or client/server. If the
database is shipped on the Door PC it must be moved to a separate Workbench
server or client/server.
