-
- Installation Procedure
- ========================
-
- The best place for additional installation and configuration information is
- our web site, in particular:
-
- http://www.equival.com/firedoor/setup.html
- or
- http://www.equival.com.au/firedoor/setup.html
-
-
- The following is a brief summary, to get you going quickly.
-
-
- Prerequisites:
- ---------------
-
- It is assumed that the following have already been installed:
-
- . TCP/IP.
- . Remote Access Service.
- . A web browser, e.g. Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.
-
-
- Procedure
- ----------
-
- 1. As you are reading this you probably have already done the first
- set using the install program to load the files.
-
- 2. At this point you may either run Fire Door as a normal application,
- in a window for a quick demo. Use the Quick Demo icon in the Start
- Menu group created by the installer to do this and go to step 5,
- or you may simply install Fire Door to auto-start as a background
- service as in step 3.
-
- 3. To install Fire Door so it will automatically run every time you
- restart your system, use the Install Fire Door Service icon. This
- will install the Fire Door service into the system registry. The
- window that is displayed indicates the result of the operation
- and may be closed straight away.
-
- 4. To start the background service, use The Start Fire Door Service
- icon. The window that is displayed indicates the result of the
- operation and may be closed straight away.
-
- 5. To access Fire Door for the final stage of setup, you may use the
- Fire Door Home Page icon in the Fire Door Start menu group. Or you
- may start a Web browser on any machine on the Local Area Network
- and enter the URL:
-
- http://hostname:1082
-
- Where "hostname" is the name or IP number of the machine that is
- running Fire Door. This should bring up the Fire Door Home Page with
- the logo and hyperlinks to online help and configuration pages.
-
- 6. You may then proceed with the First Time FireDoor setup wizard. This
- will ask a series of questions to set up Fire Door on your network.
-
- 7. Most importantly - PLEASE REGISTER YOUR COPY OF FIREDOOR! Not only will
- it allow you to use FireDoor with more than one user, but the money will
- help us improve the product even further. We will keep you informed
- of new versions of FireDoor via email, and please check our 'Web
- Home Page for information on other Equivalence products.
-
-
- Known Problems
- ---------------
-
- Upgrading from version 1.3 to version 1.4 is not reversable. Internal
- registry data is automatically converted to a new format for v1.4. This
- means that v1.3 will lose many of its configuration parameters.
-
- If you have a "Server reset" error at the end of the wizard, simply try to
- finish again. This only appears to happen with Internet Explorer 3.02 and
- not with Netscape or Internet Explorer 4. We will continue to analyse the
- problem and provide a fix in a later beta.
