16 AxTraxNG™ Software Installation and User Manual
3. Installation
The AxTraxNG™ installation CD-ROM includes all the setup files required to
install the AxTraxNG™ Access Control software on the system’s main
computer. The software system consists of the following four main
components:
AxTraxNG™ Server – Manages the database linked to the access control
panels
AxTraxNG™ Client – Configures the system
The AxTraxNG™ Client is only needed on the main computer; however, it
can be installed on additional computers as needed to help monitor the
system.
ViTrax™ software – Enables video integration (if needed)
AxTraxNG™ Watchdog
In addition, the setup installs the following two prerequisite applications:
Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008
Microsoft
®
Visual C++ 2005 SP1
3.1 Choosing an SQL Server
The AxTraxNG™ Server operates using an SQL server 2005/2008 database. If
there is already an SQL 2005/2008 server available on your computer network,
use it to run the AxTraxNG™ database using your SQL login credentials.
Alternatively, install Microsoft SQL Server Express on the computer that uses
the AxTraxNG™ server.
Do not install the SQL server when installing additional AxTraxNG™ clients,
which connect to the AxTraxNG™ Server database.
3.2 Preparing the AxTraxNG™ Installation
Install the AxTraxNG™ Access Control software on the computer that connects
to the access control panels and manages the database.
To begin installing the AxTraxNG™ software:
1. Insert the CD into your computer's CD drive.
