Prerequisites for Installation
Database Requirements
All controller data and configurations are stored in the database catalog. The database is a standard 64-bit Microsoft SQL database.
The installation of a Microsoft SQL database is not described in this document. It is recommended to follow standard installation instructions.
The Microsoft SQL database may be located on the Microsoft SQL Server or the same network as the ToolsTalk 2 application.
If the database is located elsewhere, firewalls may need to be configured to allow traffic between the database and the ToolsTalk 2 application server.
The IP address of the Atlas Copco Data Communication server must be known and entered into every controller that is connected to ToolsTalk 2
The server address that hosts the ToolsTalk 2 application must be known by the client PC if a remote connection is being used.
Mandatory when installing the Microsoft SQL database
64-bit Microsoft SQL
Select both Microsoft SQL server authentication and Windows authentication
Recommended when installing the Microsoft SQL database
Install SQL Server Management Studio
Enable the default instances.
Computer Requirements
The ToolsTalk 2 ecosystem requires the following functions to be in place:
64-bit is required for client, server, Station Setup and ClickOnce.
The ToolsTalk 2 server and PC client software require .NET 8.

Server hardware requirements | Processor | Intel XEON Dual processor with minimum of 12 cores each, 2.3 GHz or higher | This specification is only meant to give an indication of the performance needed. |
Memory (RAM) | 16 GB | This specification is only meant to give an indication of the performance needed. | |
Disk space | 100 GB | Note that the database will grow over time. Configurations and configuration changes are stored to the database. More controllers will also add more info to the database. | |
PC client requirements | Operating system | Windows 11 | |
.NET 8 | SDK 8.0.204 (×64) and SDK 8.0.204 (×86) | ||

Ports
Make sure that the following ports can be reached through the network. A company IT department can usually verify that the ports can be reached through the network.
22 (only applicable for the server)
80 (only applicable for the server)
7070
9016 (HubPort or a custom port number)
9101 (or a custom port number)
If port 80 is changed to a different value, the change must also be made on all connected controllers.
Ports 22 and 80 can only be changed during the server installation.
License Requirements
An Atlas Copco license server is needed when the Functional Management System (FMS) is being used for licensed Feature items.
The license server is included in the server installation file. For correct installation the JAVA_HOME system variable must have a correct path and point at the 64-bit Java installation.
The FMS can only be used in a client-server installation and is not applicable in a Station Setup installation.
