6 Network installation overview
Important
• If you intend to install Machine History Viewer or CSI Data Provider, you must install Internet
Information Services before installing AMS Machinery Manager. The AMS Machinery Manager
installation makes important changes to the IIS setup that you would otherwise have to
configure manually with the assistance of Product Support. See the Installation Manual on the
Manuals DVD for more details.
• If you are upgrading your software, back up your database before completing the software
update. Your databases require reindexing to work with the new software. If you need to
reinstall the previous version of software, be aware that any database you open with the new
software will be reindexed and will no longer work with any previous version.
Ensure each computer meets the minimum system operating requirements.
1. Install the Network Server on the server first.
2.
Install the AMS Machinery Manager Client on a workstation.
3. Install secondary servers and clients on other computers on the network.
You can install Online Server, Secondary Database Server, Data Import
Server, Data Import Client, and AMS Machinery Manager Client on other
computers in the network.
• Configure service accounts and firewall settings for each computer, if
necessary.
See the Installation Manual on the Manuals DVD for more details.
• Network installations require further configuration for each CSI
Machinery Health Monitor.
For more information, open Help in AMS Machinery Manager and choose
Administration > Online Server.
