Other computers running TUFLOW using the network dongle require the device drivers to be installed as described above in Section 4.1.1 - Standalone Dongle.
Install the dongle security server software by running setup.exe in the Dongle\Server folder and follow the on screen prompts. If you are running Windows NT or 2000, you must be logged in as Administrator. The required device drivers as described in the previous section are automatically installed.
Connect the TUFLOW network dongle to the parallel port and start the dongle driver by selecting it from the Start menu (Start/Programs/Security Server/Security Server). The following dialog box appears.
The first time the dongle security server software is run the program attempts to start for a few seconds and then fails because it has not yet been setup. Click the Setup button and enter the server name or IP address (IP address is preferred as problems with server names that start with a number have been experienced), leave the port as 6666 and click Apply and Close.
Now click the “Retry to start server” button, which should successfully start the server. (Note: there seems to be a problem with starting the server on machines with a name starting with a number. Therefore, avoid these names or use the IP address.) Don’t worry about the message “IP Security not loaded” as this is set up later if required. Now click OK to place the Security server in the system tray (icons at bottom right of taskbar).
You can at any time double click the Security Server icon to either change the settings or to view the current status as follows.
To close the dialog box and return it to the system tray click the close dialog button in the top right. To stop the server click the Exit/Stop Server button. The Activated keys tab shows the current activity of the Security Server. The ‘Index’ column indicates whether the dongle is being accessed. The ‘Licenses in use’ column indicates how many TUFLOW processes are currently using the network dongle. The ‘Max Licenses’ column shows the maximum number of licenses that can be allocated by the dongle.
By default when first installed the dongle security server accepts TUFLOW processes from any other computer (or IP address). If you wish to control which computers can run TUFLOW this can be setup from the IP Security tab. Further documentation on this feature can be supplied upon request.
The Setup tab allows you to change the IP address or name of the TUFLOW dongle server and also the port. Normally port 6666 is used. If the server name or port is changed, all computers that run TUFLOW also need to be changed as described later.
Checking the ‘Run in system tray’ box allows the security server to run in the system tray.
Checking the ‘Show starting Window’ box displays a dialog box when the server starts. The usual procedure is to set the dongle security server to start automatically by placing it in the startup folder of the server. This ensures that the dongle security server is always started in case the server is rebooted. In this case you can clear ‘Show starting Window’ checkbox to cause it to run in the system tray only.
Click ‘Apply’ and/or ‘Save’ for any changes you make on the Setup tab.
