4 Purpose This Read Me document contains system and setup information to integrate the NexSentry Manager with the DataCard QwikWorks version 4.0 imaging workstation. Selected NexSentry Manager cardholder database fields can be viewed and printed with a photo from the DataCard QwikWorks application. This eliminates the need for duplicate data entry on the DataCard imaging workstation to issue photo ID badges. NexSentry Manager Software Requirements NexSentry Manger Server and Client software must be version The Database Source has been changed to Visual FoxPro to allow a view table. - The Database has been modified to include image and signature tables. Note: Signature is not available on the DataCard QwikWorks version 4.0. Existing NexSentry Manager systems (version 2.01) must be upgraded to version 2.02 Server and Client to use the DataCard imaging workstation. - The NexSentry Manager (version 2.01) database must be sent to WSE for conversion. - The NexSentry Manager version 2.02 Server and Client software must be installed with the converted database on the Server computer. - All existing Clients must also be upgraded to NexSentry Manager version PAGE 4

5 When Ordering a DataCard System from WSE DataCard QwikWorks systems are configured and tested by WSE on a NexSentry Manager Server Host computer. When an order is placed, if specific system network information is not furnished, the system will be configured generically. For ease of installation in the field, it is recommended that the following information be supplied: The NexSentry Manager software key data (on existing systems). The network computer names used for the DataCard and NexSentry Manager Server host computers. The TCP/IP addresses that will be used for each computer. The Workgroup or Domain name used on the network connecting the DataCard and NexSentry Manager systems. If applicable, supply WINNT DNS or WINS Address information. The mapped Network Drive on the NexSentry Manager Server host computer that will be used by the DataCard computer. NexSentry Manager DataCard QwikWorks Operation Notes The NSM client software is pre-installed by WSE on the DataCard computer for the ODBC bi-directional interface to the NexSentry Manager database. The DataCard computer may be used as a NSM workstation (client). However, it will count as one client. To use the DataCard QW application it is not necessary to have the NSM client running on the DataCard computer. NSM database requires at least two Cardholder records for DataCard to view images properly after an image is updated. Once two Cardholders or more are in the NSM database this is not a problem. (FOXPRO VIEW TABLE limitation). When using Card Production from the DataCard QwikWorks application. Do not use the DELETE button. If by accident the DELETE button is selected, there is a warning. Respond NO to the DELETE REQUEST warning. If a DELETE is accidentally performed, images can not be updated without exiting and restarting Card Production. There is no permanent damage. The DataCard QW application should only be used to VIEW and UPDATE IMAGES in the Cardholder Record. Cardholder records should only be ADDED, DELETED, and MODIFIED on the NSM client. PAGE 5

Field configuration for existing systems The following procedure will help to configure and test the DataCard QwikWorks system, were the customer's system network information could not be obtained or

6 Field configuration for existing systems The following procedure will help to configure and test the DataCard QwikWorks system, were the customer's system network information could not be obtained or has changed. The installation of the NexSentry Manager version 2.02 Server and Client software must be installed on the NexSentry Manger Server host computer before you can configure the DataCard system. Modify the DataCard System TCP/IP If the TCP/IP address has changed on the DataCard System and you are unable to access the NexSentry Manager Host computer, the following procedure will assist configuring your new address. Start up the DataCard computer and log in as Administrator. The default password is: new123. Close all DataCard application windows that are open. From the WINNT Desktop click on My Computer, Control Panel, Network. This displays the Network window where you can change the address settings. Contact the site Network Administrator for Network Identification Information PAGE 6

7 Changing the DataCard Systems Identification If the DataCard system's computer name, work group or domain needs updating, click on the Change button on the Identification tab. To modify WSE defaults click Change on the Identification tab, and the Identification Changes window appears. Change Computer Name, WorkGroup or Domain as per site requirements and click OK when save your changes. The system allows only one change at a time. NOTE: NSM Server host and DataCard computer should be on the same Workgroup or Domain. PAGE 7

8 Next, select the tab Protocols to change the TCP/IP address. Select TCP/IP Protocol and click the Properties button. The Microsoft TCP/IP Properties window appears. Network adapter and IP Address information is displayed. Contact the site Network Administrator for Network TCP/IP Information PAGE 8

Otherwise, select Specify an IP address and enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and if applicable, the Default Gateway in the appropriate boxes. If applicable, select DNS button and complete DNS entries as per site network requirements. If applicable, select WINS Address button and complete WINS Server entries as per site network requirements. NOTE: Do not modify the network adapter driver settings configured by WSE. When the system network TCP/IP Properties configuration is complete, click OK and the Network window appears again. Click Close and the Network Settings Change window appears. A window will appear Click Yes to restart your computer now. You will need to restart your computer to make these changes effective. WINNT displays an error message information box if TCP/IP problems are detected or any services fail to start. If an error occurs, contact the Network Administrator. PAGE 9

Edit DataCard and NSM Server hosts file NOTE: The hosts file is not necessary on all system networks. However, it will not cause any problems if configured.
