3.1.3.1 MS SQL Server notes

If the MS SQL Server (2005 or 2008) is available on the machine where MK8000 is

installed or on the network, it can be used for the MK8000 functions as well. The name

of the SQL Server should be specified during software setup [➙ 26] or modified later

usin

g the SQL Server tab of the Engineering Tools [➙ 49].

If no SQL Server

(2005 or 2008) is available, then the Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Express SP3 is automatically installed before MK8000, as well as the related SQL

Backward Compatibility pack.

If SiPass is installed and integrated with MK8000, then the SQL Server installed by

SiPass can also be used for MK8000. Instead, note that, due to special access control

settings, the SiPass setup does not work properly with the SQL server installed by

MK8000.

SQL Server 2008 R2

Note that the Windows Administrators group of the domain must be configured as Sys-

Admin of SQL Server. It is necessary that the internal user [➙ 52] is also a Sys-Admin

for SQL Server 200

8 R2. This is the case if the Windows domain Administrators are

also Sys-Admin in SQL Server 2008 R2.

3.1.3.2 Internet Information Services (IIS) notes

Internet Information Services (IIS) is always available but may not be installed in

Windows. It is a necessary component for the following applications, and may require

some configuration steps.

1. MM8000/MK8000 with NK8000 network: (optional) NK8000 Web Monitoring

2. MM8000 Web Clients

For a general introduction and more information about IIS, see http://www.iis.net/

Important: Before starting the IIS installation and confi

guration, contact your network

manager and make sure to have the proper rights to perform such tasks, which require

appropriate authorizations based on the system security policy.

3.1.3.3 Windows firewall notes

Windows includes firewall software that should be disabled or re-configured for

MK8000 software to work properly in two specific network configurations:

 Distributed architectures with Client and/or FEP stations.

 Architectures including NK8000 network devices.

 In general, solutions including network communications (e.g.: Video Network, OPC

services, etc.) or network file access (e.g.: Intranet HTML page in treatment).

Other configurations (fully local) do not require any change to the Windows firewall

setting.

If the PC does not have access to the Internet or is somehow protected externally, the

Windows firewall can be disabled with the following commands:

1. Start > Settings > Control Panel > Windows Firewall.
