Typical installation

The relationships between the separate modules in ToolsNet:

  • ToolsNet clients can access the server via a web browser.

  • The server also runs the various data collection services, which obtain the data from the controllers and save results on the database module.

  • The Internet Information Service displays the results on a webpage.

Check the image in Standalone installation to identify the different modules.
