Initial Setup Using Default Database
What The Encore Default Database Does
The default database contains settings that allows a basic Encore system
with default IPs to be quickly and easily tested for successful system com
-
munications. Installing the default database will:
• Register a Sharer PC with an Encore default IP address as a worksta-
tion,
• Registers a user (SYS) to permit Encore system configuration,
• Registers both a primary and a backup Encore System Controller (SCB)
as Engines,
• Specifies the SCBs will each run the Router Control and Panel Server
applications in Master/Mirror mode, and
• Specifies the use of a Dummy Matrix that simulates router hardware.
If the Encore default database is not installed, the above steps will need to
be accomplished manually.
