Database settings
Windows NT4.0/2000/XP
When using Windows NT/2000/XP all necessary files for the use of the da-
tabase support are part of the operating system.
All other Windows operating systems need the database software MS
cess 2000 or the optional MAGIC SCREENER database software which con-
tains a Runtime Version of MS
Function of the database
All MAGIC TOUCH, MAGIC TOUCH LAN and MAGIC SCREENER soft-
ware modules always use the same Caller.MDB database file (the so called
Back End data base) to switch caller data among callers. The file can be in-
stalled on any PC on the network. This PC as well as the index where the da-
tabase file is installed, must be available via the network for all application
computers on the network. The second necessary file Screener.MDW admin-
istrates the access to the database. This file can be on the same path as well as
the database file.
To share a folder in the network (Windows XP)
Open the Windows Explorer and then locate the folder you want to share.
Right-click the folder, and then click sharing and security.
If the Share this folder in the network check box is available, select it.
If the Share this folder in the network check box is not available, the PC is
not connected to the network. To install a network, click on the network in-
stallation assistant link and follow the instructions to activate file sharing. As
soon as the sharing is active, start the procedure again.
To change the name of shared the folder or drive, type a new name in shared
name. The new name is what users will see when they connect to this shared
folder. The actual name of the folder does not change.
Activate the network user allowed to share files check box to permit other
users to access files in the shared folder.
The MAGIC TOUCH, MAGIC TOUCH LAN or MAGIC SCREENER applica-
tion represents the Front End database. This application enables access to the
Back End. The entered path of the MAGIC TOUCH is very important to en-
sure that during the show, all applications work with the same Back End da-
tabase file. Both, MAGIC TOUCH LAN and MAGIC SCREENER automati-
cally receive the correct path of the currently set Back End database file.
