C • Networking Chromeleon 6.8 Computers
For routine Chromeleon 6.8 operation, the three Chromeleon 6.8 components
shown in
datasource
,
server
, and
client
) must be able to
communicate. These three components can all be installed on one computer,
on three different computers, or in any other computer/component
configuration. A Chromeleon 6.8 client can communicate with multiple
servers and datasources, and multiple servers can share a single datasource.
When Chromeleon 6.8 components are installed on the same computer, they
communicate automatically. However, when the Chromeleon 6.8 components
are installed on different computers, they need to be configured to allow
communication. This requires either a peer-to-peer network (a workgroup) or
a client/server network (a domain). The computers in a workgroup
communicate and share data with each other directly. The computers in a
domain share a common set of network resources.
