In general, it i

s recommended that anyone installing, configuring, or administering a

Marathon FT virtual Server environment running the DMS8000 software attend a

Marathon authorized training course.

 Please contact support for more information about technical details and purchase

options.

3.2.2 Selecting the type of Windows security

The MK8000 installation procedure needs to define a new internal Windows user [➙

52].

Note: The DMS8000_PROC user must be defined (and maintained) on all the PCs

involved in the OPC communication, both server and client(s). Do not remove this

user.

During the installation, the MK8000 user can be defined in two different ways:

 Standard security: the internal user is automatically created with the name

DMS8000_PROC.

 Advanced security: the internal username and password can be specified as

desired. You can specify a new user account or an existing one.

During the installation procedure of MK8000 software, you are asked to specify

whether the user security is handled in Standard or Advanced mode.

In both cases, the internal user information can be changed later using the

Engineering Tools [➙ 49].

3.2.3 Enabling the automatic start-up

During setup, you will be also prompted to choose whether to enable the automatic

start of the server at start-up. Unless you need to perform testing or troubleshooting, it

is usually best to enable auto-start. If you need to change this setting for any reason,

please refer to Appendix B - Enabling Server auto-start [➙ 93].
