Internet Information Services
(IIS) is available but not installed in Windows. You
can install IIS by selecting Control Panel
Add/Remove Programs
Add/Remove Windows components (follow the on-screen instructions to install,
remove, or add components to IIS). For more information on IIS, see
Note
: ISS should be installed before MM8000. If it is installed afterwards, you
need to run the post-installation utility
NK8210ConfigurationTool.exe
described
Windows XP SP2/SP3
and
Vista
include firewall software that should be dis-
abled or re-configured for MM8000 software to work properly in two specific net-
work configurations:
–
Distributed architectures with Client and/or FEP stations.
–
Architectures including NK8000 network devices.
–
In general, solutions including network communications (e.g.: Video Network,
OPC services, etc.) or network file access (e.g.: Intranet HTML page in treat-
ment).
Other configurations (fully local) do not require any change to the Windows fire-
wall setting.
If the PC does not have access to the Internet or is somehow protected exter-
nally, the
Windows firewall can be disabled
with the following commands:
–
Start
Settings
Control Panel
Windows Firewall.
–
In the form that appears (in the General tab), set the firewall to Off.
Alternatively,
the Windows firewall can be configured in order to allow
MM8000 to operate over the network
. This is possible with a dedicated script
provided in :
<installation
folder>\Utilities\Firewall Configuration
–
In this folder, double click the file:
MM8000 Firewall Cnf.vbs
to start the script
procedure. The script must be used on any type of MM8000 stations (stand-
alone/server, client, FEP).
Note
: If using
Windows Vista
, run the script procedure with
elevated privi-
leges
, or else the firewall exceptions are not configured.
In general, we suggest that the MM8000 PC should be
protected against vi-
ruses
with dedicated software. The performance of the PC should not however
be heavily affected.
If the PC is connected to the Internet, an adequate protection against potential
intruder should be installed with external devices (e.g. hardware firewall and NAT
router). Windows XP SP2/SP3 and Vista can provide an internal firewall (see
previous note).
SiPass software
should be installed and configured before MK8000.
If you have installed MM8000 before SiPass, then proceed as follows:
–
Uninstall MK8000
