Before you install
Before you install the MarkVision server:
- Make sure you have 70MB of hard disk space available for a complete installation.
- Decide where to install the MarkVision Server.
You must install one MarkVision Server on the network.
You may install any of the other packages on the same workstation running the MarkVision Server, although this is not necessary.
Types of installation
There are two ways to install MarkVision Professional on your system:
CD installation
Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions on the screen.
Web site installation
If you choose the Web Deployment Package installation option, the MarkVision Professional Web Deployment Package is downloaded to your Web server. Supported platforms include Windows and UNIX platforms.
For a successful Web site installation:
- The operating system must be supported by MarkVision Professional.
- The browser must be Java-enabled.
Where to install MarkVision components
If your devices are distributed across a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), network traffic increases as users try to access them. With MarkVision, you can choose where to install components, thus reducing network traffic.
To minimize network traffic and improve performance, install the MarkVision Server on a host that offers
relatively high-speed access to users and to the devices you want to monitor.
Installing MarkVision
MarkVision supplies several installable components:
- MarkVision Application - Installs the MarkVision Printer Management Utility. This application requires a MarkVision Server to be available on the network.
- MarkVision Server - Installs all the files to make MarkVision Professional available through the Web server.
- MarkVision Messenger - Installs the MarkVision Messenger Web-based utility. This utility runs programs when printer events occur.
- MarkVision Web Client - Installs a Web browser-based version of the MarkVision Printer Management Utility. This accesses the MarkVision Professional utility from a remote location using a browser.
- Web Deployment Package - Installs a package to the MarkVision Server that installs the MarkVision application from a Web browser. These files include:
- Windows Web package
- Unix Web package (Java runtime environment is required)
