Summation's line of award-winning litigation
support software is successfully utilized every day by thousands
of users on their stand-alone computer workstations, network-attached
computer workstations, and laptop computer workstations. As part
of Summation's commitment to supporting you, the client, the way
you want in the most flexible manner possible, the Summation Blaze
LG family of products supports a number of different configurations.
In order to support remote users, many of Summation's clients
choose to use their Summation product in conjunction with Microsoft
Windows 2000 Terminal Services. Using Summation's Blaze LG family
of products on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server can provide
a number of benefits to remote users who need access to Summation
Blaze LG's powerful litigation support features from a location
that is "remote" from the firm's Local Area Network
(LAN).
This document has been created to assist
you with the installation of your Summation Blaze LG product in
order to make it available to remote users connected to your Microsoft
Windows 2000 Terminal Server, and assumes a good working knowledge
of Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server concepts, functionality,
and administrative functions. This document assumes that you are
working on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server, however many
of the concepts, features, and tools are similar to the Microsoft
Windows NT Terminal Server Edition.
Prerequisites:
| a. |
Microsoft Windows 2000
Server with Terminal Services installed and licensed in "application
mode" with network access to the Summation case data. |
| b. |
Summation Blaze
LG, Blaze LG Gold, or iBlaze network/concurrent-user edition
version 2.6. |
| c. |
Microsoft Windows 2000
Server Terminal Server client installed on the "remote"
workstations. |
| d. |
Internet Explorer 5.5
SP2 or later on the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Terminal
Server. |
The procedure for installing the Network/Concurrent-user
version of your Summation product is a two-step process.
Please take careful note of which computer is being referenced
(workstation or server) as well as which step in the process you
are working on (Summation server install or Summation client install).
The "Summation server
installation" must be installed to a network location
available to the Terminal Server. This location can even be a shared
directory hosted on the Terminal Server. Note that the
"Summation server installation"
does not require Summation components to be registered on the
server, the Summation server
install is simply utilizing the shared directory on that server.
The "Summation client installation"
setup must be run from the Add/Remove Programs applet on the Windows
2000 Terminal Server that is hosting your Summation network edition
client. Note that the "Summation
client installation" step registers several components
on the Windows 2000 Terminal Server that are actually located
in the Summation application directory on the network.
You will need access to both a separate
workstation computer and
to a shared directory located on the Summation
server that will be hosting your Summation concurrent-user
edition system. Summation DOES NOT recommend or support running
the "Summation server installation"
step directly from the server desktop. In addition, both computers
(workstation and server) must be on the same Local Area Network
(LAN).
If you are installing
on a Novell Server, be sure to review the "Novell Issues"
section in the standard product installation guide that came with
the Summation product PRIOR to installation.
- Create a shared directory on your network
Summation server if one
is not already in place. If you do not have a shared directory
available on your network, please see your server/network administrator
for assistance. Note: It is acceptable to use a shared network
directory located on the Windows 2000 Terminal Server.
- Locate the product installation CD-ROM
and place it in the CD-ROM drive of your workstation
computer.
- The setup
program should begin automatically. If the setup does not begin
automatically, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to your
CD-ROM drive (typically drive D) and double click on setup.exe.|
- The installation program will walk you
through the following steps:
| a. |
Entering
company information and serial number. |
| b. |
Displaying
the license agreement. |
| c. |
Choosing your target
directory (network share location where you wish to install
your server components) this location should be a UNC
path (i.e.
\\ServerName\ShareName\SummSubDir), NOT A LOCAL FILE SYSTEM
LOCATION (i.e. NOT C:\Program Files). It is acceptable
to use a shared network directory located on the Windows
2000 Terminal Server. |
| d. |
Choosing which program
components to install. |
| e. |
Determining
whether you have enough available disk space. |
| f. |
Choosing
the location of the "Summation client installation"
setup software.
Summation recommends that you choose the default location
if possible. |
| g. |
Copying files to your
shared network location (UNC path or mapped drive). |
- The "Summation
server installation" step is completed. In order
to begin using the network/concurrent-user application, proceed
to the "Summation client
installation" procedures and run the "Summation
client installation" steps from the Add/Remove programs
applet on the Windows 2000 Terminal Server that is hosting the
Summation application.
- While sitting at the Windows 2000 Terminal
Server, open the Control Panel and double-click on the Add/Remove
Programs icon. From within the Add/Remove Programs applet, choose
to "Add New Programs" and click the "CD or Floppy"
button. Navigate to the location where you chose to install
the client files. The default location is the "Client Setup"
folder located in the Summation application directory (i.e.
\\SummationServer\ShareName\SummSubDir\Client Setup).
- Double-click on "Setup.exe".
- The installation program will walk you
through the following steps:
| a. |
Displaying
the license agreement. |
| b. |
Creating
a Windows program group. |
| c. |
Copying
files to your system. |
| d. |
Installing
MDAC 2.6 (if necessary).
Note: If MDAC 2.6
was not already installed on your machine, you may be
asked to re-boot your system upon completion. |
| e. |
Registering
newly installed files. |
| Notes
on Color Palettes: |
| Microsoft
Windows 2000 Terminal Server limits the color palette
of your Terminal Server clients to 256 colors. If you
choose this option, two items will need to be adjusted
in Summation to accommodate this limitation: |
| a. |
In the shared
Summation application network directory, rename the "UI"
sub-directory (i.e. rename it "UI_Old). This will
force Summation to use less color-intensive icons. |
| b. |
In the
shared Summation application network directory, edit the
SWADMIN.INI file by adding the following lines:
[user info]
No256ColorMSG=Yes |
