Before the Auto Alarm Manager can deliver alarms via TCP/IP:
- The Sending node(s) must be running the Auto Alarm Manager (AAMTCP.exe) and have a modem attached and properly configured for dialing out.
- The Receiving node must be running the Auto Alarm Manager (AAMTCP.exe) and have an Ethernet adapter.
- RAS software must be installed on each node running the Auto Alarm Manager, as well as the dedicated RAS Server (if you plan to use one). Using RAS, the Auto Alarm Manager can communicate over any TCP/IP LAN adapter, by using iFIX or FIX networking.
- The RAS Server computer must have a modem attached and be properly configured for accepting incoming connections using the TCP/IP protocol over RAS.
- The RAS Server computer must also have an Ethernet adapter that is networked to the Auto Alarm Manager's Receiver node.
The following sections show different network configurations you can run AAMTCP.exe:
- Point-to-Point Configuration
- Point-to-LAN Configuration Typical Scenario
- Point-to-LAN Configuration Dedicated RAS Server with Two Modems
For general information on setting up a LAN adapter, refer to your Microsoft documentation.
