Installation Instructions 

The following sections detail the manual installation of Reflex 

Disknet Pro Enterprise Server and Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise 

Client. The Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server is the hub of the 

Reflex Disknet Pro protected environment and must be installed 

prior to the installation of any client software. 

Installing Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server 

This section of the installation guide will explain step-by-step the 

installation of Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server. Prior to 

installation it is important that a suitable workstation/server is 

chosen to act as the Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server. This 

machine must be fully networked with TCP/IP networking 

installed and be accessible across the network by all client 

workstations. 

A Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server installation can be aborted 

at any time prior to step 18, where a summary of the installation 

options selected is displayed. If the installation is cancelled at 

any time before this, the software will not be installed and the 

PC will remain untouched. 

Screen shots in this section of the installation guide were taken 

from a PC running Microsoft Windows 2000. 

Important Note: In order to install Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise 

Server either for evaluation or as a licensed product you must 

first acquire a valid registration key. For further information 

please contact your Reflex Disknet Pro supplier. 



To install Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server the following steps 

need to be completed: 

1) Logon to the workstation that will be installed with the Reflex 

Disknet Pro Enterprise Server with local NT administration rights. 

2) Insert the Reflex Disknet Pro installation CD-ROM into the CD 

drive. The CD should autorun, if not double click on 

Autorun.exe located in the root directory of the CD. The 

following menu screen will be displayed: 

3) Select the ‘software’ menu and then ‘Install Reflex Disknet Pro 

Enterprise Server for MS Windows NT/2000/2003/XP’ from the 

list of options. Alternatively, copy the \Software\Reflex Disknet 

Pro\Server folder to the local hard disk and execute setup.exe. 

The setup program will launch and display the following splash 

screen: 



4) The welcome screen is displayed. Click ‘Next’ to continue: 



5) The registration screen is displayed. A valid registration key is 

required to install either evaluation or licensed software. For 

further information about obtaining a valid registration key 

please contact a Reflex Disknet Pro supplier. Enter a valid 

registration key and select whether the Reflex Disknet Pro 

Administration Console should be accessible for ‘Anyone’ or just 

the currently logged on user. Click ‘Next’ to continue: 

6) The license agreement is displayed. The terms and conditions 

must be read fully. To continue with the installation, the ‘I

required. 

Reflex Disknet Pro Administration Console: Will install just the 

administration console for remote administration of a Reflex 

Disknet Pro Enterprise Server. 

8) If a ‘Custom’ install was selected the following screen will be 

displayed: 

Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server: This option should be 

selected to install the core components of the Reflex Disknet Pro 

Enterprise Server. This will install the Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise 

Server service and required access components. 

Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server Administration Console: This 

option installs the necessary components required to manage the 

Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server. An MMC snapin is created 

on the local machine which allows full management of the 

server. If Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is not installed 

or out of date, the Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server 

installation program will automatically install the latest version. 



Microsoft SQL Database Engine: Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise 

Server uses an MSSQL database to store all configuration and log 

information. Reflex Disknet Pro will automatically install the 

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) if this 

option is selected. It may however be desirable to install Reflex 

Disknet Pro onto an existing Microsoft SQL infrastructure. To 

install Reflex Disknet Pro onto an existing Microsoft SQL database

database’ if a previously created Reflex Disknet Pro database is 

available. Select ‘Create new Reflex Disknet Pro Server database’ 

if installation is required on an existing SQL database 

infrastructure but a Reflex Disknet Pro database does not exist. 

Click ‘Next’ to continue: 

13) If the option to select an existing database or create a new 



database on an existing database infrastructure was selected the 

following dialog will be displayed. Select the required database 

access security level. Specify the remote computer name where 

MS SQL is installed and the user name and password if required. 

Click ‘Next’ to continue: 

14) The Reflex Disknet Pro TCP/IP port number is used for 

communication between the server and clients (default 9738). 

Please note this value must be recorded and used for all Reflex 

Disknet Pro Client installations. If e-mail alerts from the Reflex 

Disknet Pro Enterprise Server are required, a valid SMTP server 

name must be specified. A valid username and password that 

has access to the SMTP server is required. The e-mail address 

used to send alerts and the message subject can be edited as 

required. Click ‘Next’ to continue: 



15) Novell Installations only: If a Novell NDS network is detected 

the Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server will automatically 

integrate with the NDS network. If detected during the server 

installation the setup program will prompt for a Novell 

administrator account. Specify the network browser account and 

password in either Novell Netware login name format or in full 

distinguished name format. 



16) Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server can be used to manage 

multiple domains. During installation the setup wizard will 

detect all available Domain(s) within the current network 

environment. Select the Domain(s) to be managed and click 

‘Next’ to continue: 

17) The Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server runs as a service on 

the server machine. The service requires an account within

must be read fully. To continue with the installation the ‘I accept 

the agreement’ radio button must be selected. Click ‘Next’ to 

continue: 



9) Select the destination folder where the Reflex Disknet Pro 

Client files will be installed (default C:\program 

files\Reflex\Disknet). Click ‘Next’ to continue: 

10) Select the type of installation required. 

Complete: This option will install all options (Removable Media 

Manager, Program Security Guard, Reflex DataScan, Reflex 

ScreenMail). 

Custom: This option gives the ability to select which components 

are installed (recommended). 



11) If a custom installation is selected the following options will 

be available: 

Media Manager 

Reflex Disknet Pro 4 ensures that all removable media/IO devices 

are authorised before use is granted. Authorisation can be 

centrally managed or users can authorise their own devices 

providing policy is met (see data authorisation below). A unique 

Reflex Disknet Pro 4 digital signature is written to a device to 

mark it as authorised. The digital signature is automatically 

updated during file modifications/transfers within the protected 

environment. If changes to the media are made outside of the 

organisation, the device will require re-authorisation before it can 

be used again within the protected environment. The system 

ensures that all devices are scanned for viruses using a third party 

Anti-Virus scanner of your choice. This prevents illegal importing 

of data and more importantly can prevent the unauthorised 

exporting of data. This system will also stop users gaining access 

to any unauthorised hot-swap and plug-and-play devices. 

Program Security Guard 

Reflex Disknet Pro 4 provides profile based file management. 

Users can be prevented from creating defined file types on the 

local workstation and network drives. File types are specified by 

extension and can be used to prevent the introduction of 

unlicensed software (.EXE .COM .DLL etc), potentially malicious 

file types (.VBS .SCR etc) or simply unwanted file types (MPG, 

MP3, JPG etc). Protection is provided from any external source 

including e-mail attachments and web downloads. 

Reflex DataScan 

Reflex Disknet Pro 4 is supplied with a data authorisation 

module, which is integrated within the media authorisation 

process. Employing this module, users can be given the right to 

authorise their own media providing the device contains only 

permitted file types. The module can be configured to only allow 

the authorisation of data only files. Any executable/active code 

will be rejected even if renamed or hidden. 



Reflex ScreenMail 

Reflex Disknet Pro 4 is supplied with Reflex ScreenMail, a highsecurity 

plug-in designed to work with MS Outlook/MS Outlook 

Express. It provides integrated Anti-Virus and active code 

protection for both inbound and outbound e-mails. 

Select the required components and click 'Next' to continue: 



13) Reflex Disknet Pro uses a secure TCP/IP connection to 

communicate between client and server workstations. The 

machine name(s) of the Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server(s) 

must be entered as well as the TCP/IP port number (default 

9738). To add a server(s) simply type the server name or IP 

address and Port number and then click 'Add'. A test 

connection will be performed to check that the server name is 

correct. Multiple Servers can be added and their order can be 

arranged using the 'Up' and 'Down' buttons. 

When multiple servers have been added it possible to select the 

following options: 

Sequential 

The client will connect to the first server in the list by default. If 

this server is unavailable then the second server will be contacted 

and so on in order. 

Random 

When multiple servers are present the client software will 

automatically share the load across all configured servers using 

random selection. Click 'Next' to continue: 



14) By default a Reflex Disknet Pro Client obtains security rights 

from the Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Server. For standalone or 

remote users this can have implications for remote support. For 

this reason it is possible to configure Reflex Disknet Pro client to 

use NT permissions to override the Reflex Disknet Pro 

permissions. Anyone within the NT local administrator group will 

have rights to disable Reflex Disknet Pro client components. 

Click 'Next' to continue: 

15) A summary of the selected installation components will be 

displayed. Click 'Next' to install Reflex Disknet Pro Client with 

the configured options: 



The setup progress is indicated as below: 

16) On completion of installation a reboot is required. Select the 

required option and click 'Finish' to complete the installation: 

17) After rebooting the workstation, Reflex Disknet Pro Client 

will automatically load and protect the workstation. The presence 

of Reflex Disknet Pro Client is displayed by the addition of a new 

system tray icon displayed below: 

User profiles are automatically downloaded when users logon. 

For further information about the system tray menus please view 

the client on-line help. 



De-installation of Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Client 

To de-install Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Client use Add/Remove 

programs from within the MS Windows control panel. Select 

‘Reflex Disknet Pro Enterprise Client’ from the list of installed 

programs and click ‘Change/Remove’. 

Network Deployment 

The preferred method for installing Reflex Disknet Pro Client is a 

silent network deployment. Because Reflex Disknet Pro Client 

requires local administration rights to install, you will need to use 

a software deployment mechanism to install. Further 

information about silently installing Reflex Disknet Pro Client 

across a network please see the Administration Console online 

help. Reflex Disknet Pro Client support both command line and 

MSI deployment.
