Setting Up A Server Computer - Canon Studio Solution User Manual

Setting Up a Server Computer

A server computer is necessary if you are running the software on more than one
computer.
Note: A dongle must be attached to the server computer to activate the network.
The server computer will contain all of the photos and data, and will share them with
the client computers.
Note: The server computer must be configured before the client computers.
A server computer means:
 A computer will be used, as a server, on a network.
 All photos and data will be stored locally on this computer.
 Printers are directly connected to this station.
 Clients can access the photos stored in this station.
 Clients can access data stored in this station.
 Clients can send print requests to this station.
To set this computer as the Server Computer:
1. Click Server Computer on the left side of the screen so that a check appears.
2. Select a Photos Folder. This is automatically selected and it is rare that you would
need to change it. If you do so, you will need to manually copy the existing
folder contents.
3. Select a Database. This is also automatically selected. If you change it, the
database will need to be migrated to the new location.
