Network Installation
A typical network has a server and one or more client machines.
We need to install a database server on the server machine, then install the ezFIT software on the client machines. Perform the following steps:
On the Server
Open Firewall port 3050 for Firebird. In Windows XP with SP2, the following steps apply to configure the Windows Firewall:
Go to Control Panel (Start > Control Panel).
Open Windows Firewall.
Add a new Port (press “Exceptions” tab, then “Add Port…” button).
Name: Firebird
Port Number: 3050
TCP
Limit the scope of access (to be more secure). Press button “Change Scope”. Select “My Network (subnet) only”.
Verify that InterBase Server is not running. You can configure the service by going to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. Select InterBase InterClient Service from the list, right-click and select Properties. It must be not be 'Started' and the Startup Type should be 'Manual'.
Place the ezFIT software CD into CD-ROM drive. The CD menu should start automatically, showing the ezFIT software installation, product catalog, workshop information and more.
If the CD does not start automatically, do the following:
On the Windows desktop, click on Start > Run.
Type: D:\audina.exe
(assuming D:
is the CD-ROM drive letter).
Click on “Software Installation” to show the next screen.
Click option “Database Server” to install it on the server machine.
Select option “Full Installation of Super Server and development tools” and below “Super Server binary”.
Select option to install it as a “Service”.
Write down name of the server. Look it up in Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Computer Name > Change.
Open database server port 3050 on the server firewall (and in each client machine having a firewall). If using Windows XP (SP2), perform the following steps:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions.
Click on < Add Port >. Name: “Firebird 3050”, Port Number: 3050, Protocol: TCP.
Note:
You must configure the client on the server as well, if you wish to use that as a workstation. Failure to do so will block other clients from sharing the database.
On each Client computer
Place the ezFIT software CD into CD-ROM drive. The CD menu should start automatically, showing the ezFIT software installation, product catalog, and more.
If the CD does not start automatically, do the following:
On the Windows desktop, click on Start > Run.
Type: D:\audina.exe
(assuming D:
is the CD-ROM drive letter).
Click on Software Installation to show the next screen.
Run option to install “ezFIT Stand-alone” on all the client machines (When using NOAH, refer to
Installing ezFIT for NOAH instead).
Configure each client machine to point the database path to the server.
In ezFIT, go to Tools > Options > Database.
Database Location: server_name_here: C:\Program Files\audina\ezFIT4\data\
('server_name_here' is the name of your server)
Alternatively, you can perform the same configuration, but using the ezFIT Backup Utility (from the Windows Desktop: Start > Programs > Audina ezFIT > ezFIT Backup Utility).
Note:
You must configure the client on the server as well, if you wish to use that as a workstation. Failure to do so will block other clients from sharing the database.
Installing Programming Box Drivers
Hi-Pro driver installation
For Hi-Pro USB
Install the drivers first (Warning: do not plug in the Hi-Pro USB yet!). Insert Hi-Pro driver CD into your CD-ROM drive and run setup.
Select “Hi-Pro USB driver”.
When prompted to do so, connect the USB cable.
When the “Found New Hardware Wizard” shows up:
Select “No, not this time” option under “Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?”, then click < Next >.
Select “Install new software automatically [Recommended]” option and click < Next >.
Click on < Continue Anyway > button if the screen “This hardware has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows” appears.

Warning:
The “Found New Hardware Wizard” will appear twice, and you need to follow the same steps listed above.
For "Classic" Hi-Pro (Serial connection only)
Warning:
When using a new notebook computer, it will not have a serial port available. Purchase a USB-Serial Adapter and install it in the available USB port.

Install downloaded file.
Connect DSP Programmer to USB port in your computer.
Allow MS Windows to detect and install the drivers for the new hardware.
Reboot your computer.
Warning:
Make sure you do not connect the DSP programmer before installing the ARKbase software. If you do, then disconnect it and cancel the Windows auto-detection of new hardware. You might need to go to Control Panel > System > Harware > Device Manager to remove it from “Other Devices”. This category contains all the devices detected but not yet installed, usually due to lack of drivers. Reboot after this and proceed with driver installation as outlined above.
