Installing the ToolsTalk Server Application
Before you begin with the ToolsTalk 2 server installation, make sure all the requirements are met as described in section Before Installing or Upgrading.
Before installing the Server Application, make sure that Atlas Copco Data Communication (ACDC) is installed and running (only for versions of ToolsTalk 2 from 2.13 onwards). Please see the ACDC Installation Manual.
Place the executable file ToolsTalkServer<xxx>.exe in a desired folder on your computer. The <xxx> represents the version of the file.
Double-click on the executable file.
If an error occurs during installation, a step is unclear, or a parameter name or value is unclear, look for more information in the Troubleshooting section.

If the SQL database server is installed on the same machine as the ToolsTalk 2 server application, select (local) in the Database server window.
If No security is used, any user in the domain can change a configuration parameter without identification.
If Windows accounts are used, changes made to configuration parameters are saved together with timestamp and identified user account.
For a simple installation, where all modules (SQL database, server application and client application) are installed on the same computer, the No security option may be used. This is a normal setup for a service engineering laptop computer.
