NotePager Net's flexibility and scalability is due to its modular design. The modularity of NotePager Net allows each of its modules to be run on a separate computer. Here is an example:
- The NotePager Net Scheduler module and the NotePager Net Database run on the production file server.
- 1 to 16 Dialer modules run on a communications server
- The NotePager Net Administration and Monitoring programs run on an administrator's workstation
- The NotePager Net Client runs on several workstations on the LAN
In contrast, all of the above modules can run on a single workstation or server.
Steps to install NotePager Net's modules on additional computers:
1. Run NotePager Net's setup program. Install the NotePager Net application on the new workstation or server (refer to the regular installation instructions for details).
2. Run NotePager Net on the new computer.
3. The first time NotePager Net is run, you will be given the 'NotePager Net Setup Screen' (this screen can be accessed later by choosing 'Settings' from the 'Program' object in the NPN Admin program).
4. Set the 'Program Directory' to where you installed NotePager Net on the local machine.
5. Set the 'Database Directory' to the same location as in the existing NotePager Net installation (this would need to be a shared folder on the network).
6. Set the 'Log Directory' to the same location as in the existing NotePager Net installation (this would need to be a shared folder on the network).
7. Choose which of NotePager Net's modules are to run on this computer. Be sure to disable the modules you choose on any existing NotePager Net servers. If you are installing NotePager Net simply to use the Administration program, leave all the module boxes unchecked.
8. Apply your changes. NotePager Net will now start..
9. Use the above procedure on each computer that will run one or more of NotePager Net's modules.
