Installing A Client; Network Client - NEC Univerge SV8100 Installation Manual

Installing a Client

A MyCalls client can be installed to allow a user to use the MyCalls application of their PC. During the
installation you are prompted to enter the name of the MyCalls server PC. Once the installation has
completed then the client will be able to use any of the functions available in the MyCalls application.
There are two types of clients that can be installed, a network client or a standard client. A network
client works by installing a small amount of components on the client PC and then running the
MyCalls application from a network share off the MyCalls server. A standard client will install a lot
more components onto the client PC and the application will be run from the local PC.

Network Client

The main advantage with a network client is that you only need to install it once on a client. If the
MyCalls software running on the MyCalls server PC was upgraded then as the MyCalls client runs the
application from the server, the client could not need upgrading. During the installation of the MyCalls
Server, the MyCalls installation folder is shared. In a Windows Domain environment, users will need
the read and execute permission to the MyCalls share on the MyCalls server. To see if a client can
access a share, from Windows explorer, type \\servername\mycalls where servername is the name of
the MyCalls server. In the example below the server is called mycalls.
If an explorer window opens showing the contents of the share then the client can connect to the
server and share.
