EOS Server Installation

You require to install EOS while having administrator rights to your machine. The installation includes the registration of EOS as a permanent Service in your operating system. For Windows systems, you require at least Windows2000 having service capabilities.

In the program menu, options appear to run the EOS Console, the JDSA or Java Data Source Administrator, and options to manage the EOS Service.

1. Run the InstallShield automated installation process to install EOS on your server.
2. Since EOS is a service, it is automatically installed as Service after finishing the installation. To make EOS fully operable, Start the EOS service by selecting the 'Start EOS as Service' item from the Programs menu.
3. Now run the EOS Console to start configuring EOS. Run EOS Console from the Programs menu or from the desktop icon.
   Default login at installation is:
   
   Name : <anything>
   Server : dox:// <your machine> port = 1100
   User : 'admin' or 'administrator'
   Password : none
   
   <your machine> should be either 'localhost' or the name of your machine as known by your DNS, or the IP address of your machine as set in this example :

You should change the administrator login settings immediately to prevent unauthorized persons to login.

An Administrator can use EOS Console to administer the server and nothing else.
The default administration account is :

• user = 'Administrator'
• password = none

A User can use and manipulate data made available by the server and nothing else.
The default user account is :

• user = 'guest'
• password = none

Default, EOS runs on port 1100. When installing EOS as a service using InstallService.exe, this is the port that is assigned to communicate with EOS.

If you require EOS to run on a different port, set the portnumber in the properties BEFORE installing it as a service. For more information, check the Installation Parameters.

1. First STOP EOS from running by selecting the Stop EOS item from the Programs menu.
2. Then REMOVE EOS as service on your machine using the Remove Service item from the Programs menu.
3. Finally UNINSTALL EOS using the Uninstall item from the Programs menu.
