Networking

Docsminder can connect to a Docsminder database in one of two ways

Local

- this is a direct pointer to a directory accessible to Docsminder - ie on the local hard disk or LAN.

Local connection mode will let you point to a directory on your system that contains a Docsminder database. If you have a Docsminder Lite version, then this directory has to be on your local hard disk. If you have a Docsminder Professional or Corporate version, then this directory can be either local or on a network drive.

Network drives You can specify a network drive either as a mapped drive - or using a full UNC path.

Remote

- this is a TCP/IP connection to a Docsminder server anywhere in the World.

In addition to providing access to a Docsminder server anywhere at all, a Docsminder Server is a full client/server database system.

The Docsminder Server needs to be up and running before you try to connect.

Docsminder Server is a separate program, and needs to be installed separately. This program is included on your Docsminder CDROM, and there is a separate installation process for the Server.

You would normally install the Docsminder Server on a central computer on your office LAN. But you can install it anywhere you like - in a different building, state or country. All you need is a working Internet connection to the IP address of the computer that Docsminder Server is installed on. What this generally means is that you need an opening in your firewall to connect to Port 9090.
