Installation Notes Regarding <strong>WinCon</strong><br />

Installation Notes Regarding <strong>WinCon</strong><br />

Any virus scanner should be disabled during the installation procedure of any <strong>WinCon</strong><br />

component (i.e. Server, Controls, and Client). Once completed, the <strong>WinCon</strong> installation can<br />

be tested using the <strong>WinCon</strong> example files: type wcdemos in the MATLAB command<br />

window.<br />

Local Configuration<br />

In the local configuration, <strong>WinCon</strong> Server and <strong>WinCon</strong> Client are installed on the same PC,<br />

as defined in section Local and Remote Configurations. In this situation, the <strong>WinCon</strong><br />

installation steps are briefly enumerated below:<br />

Step1. Install <strong>WinCon</strong> Server.<br />

Step2. Install <strong>WinCon</strong> Controls.<br />

Step3. Install <strong>WinCon</strong> Client.<br />

Step4. Restart the computer.<br />

These steps are fully detailed in the next sections.<br />

Remote Configuration<br />

In a remote configuration, <strong>WinCon</strong> Server and <strong>WinCon</strong> Client are installed on different<br />

PC's, as defined in section Local and Remote Configurations. There can only be one<br />

running <strong>WinCon</strong> Server per PC and one running <strong>WinCon</strong> Client per PC (due to the use of a<br />

dedicated TCP/IP port for Client-Server communications). However, each PC can run a<br />

different version of Microsoft Windows, amongst 98/NT/2000/XP.<br />

Be sure to check each PC network connection. Prior to installation of any network<br />

configuration of <strong>WinCon</strong>, you must ensure that each PC involved in the <strong>WinCon</strong> operation<br />

is on a fully functional network with the TCP/IP protocol installed and configured. If this is<br />

not the case, contact your Network Administrator or the person(s) responsible for the<br />

network and inform them of your requirements.<br />

Ensure that you have the correct number of licenced copies of <strong>WinCon</strong> for any network<br />

installation. One <strong>WinCon</strong> license is required per PC on which a <strong>WinCon</strong> component is<br />

installed (i.e. either <strong>WinCon</strong> Server, or <strong>WinCon</strong> Client, or both).<br />

In the case of the very general Remote Configuration #3 described in Local and Remote<br />

Configurations (with multiple <strong>WinCon</strong> Servers and multiple <strong>WinCon</strong> Clients), the <strong>WinCon</strong><br />

installation steps are briefly enumerated below:<br />
