1-1 Introduction
This manual is intended to provide the customer with complete and comprehensive documentation
to set up and configure the Innotech eServer software for a site computer. eServer enables local
and remote client computers access to a Magellan Explorer interface from within their web browser,
enabling direct access to information on the site computer.
Although the intent of this manual is to simplify the installation task, instructions contained in
this manual are based on the assumption that the typical installer is familiar with the operation
of the Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Vista Business, or XP Professional operating systems.
Furthermore, basic installation and configuration instructions are provided for sites with a Windows
Server 2008 R2 computer.
Customers should familiarise themselves with the content of this manual before attempting
installation and setup of eServer on their computer.
