Salon Operations |
Install the software, but skip the SQL Desktop installation. After
the software is installed, start the Salon Operations software, and
select Database Administration. Click Manager Key, and enter the master
password to enable the buttons below it. Once enabled, select Change DSN Settings. This screen lets you change the database location for this work
station. If you have a tcp/ip network setup, wich is typically the case,
select "Create DSN for Server" option and enter the IP address for the
computer that has the database installed. Also enter the login information for that machine. The default will
be User ID ezway, and password is ezway. Depending on which version of Windows you are running, you will want
to go to the Control Panel. If your running Windows XP, you will see
this option in your Start menu. Next, goto Administrative Tools, and click Data Sources (ODBC) Change to the second tab, System DSN. You should have an entry for
EZWay. if you do not have one, you can create one, or use the step above
to create one. This screen lets you set the server, or the computer running the
database. If you are using a TCP/IP network, this is typical, enter the
IP address for the server machine. You can get the IP address on the
server machine, by running a command shell, and typing "ipconfig" and
hit the return key. You should see your ip address. This screen defines how you will access the server and the login
cridentials. By default it will use TCP/IP but you can change that using
the Client Configuration tab. Also, enter the username and password for
the database. This is typicallu username ezway, and password ezway. You
can change these if you want more database security. Note: the default installation will also create a username sa and
password is blank. Blank as in nothing, not the word blank. If you need to use the Client Configuration screen, above, you can
define what network protocol to use, and if need be, change the port
address. The last sceen is used to define what database to use. By default,
this should be EZWay. If you don't see EZWay in the lisy, either the database has not been
created, or the login you have used does not have access to the
database.
