9. The installation program installs the Windows Firewall Configuration Utility. The
Firewall Configuration program then runs to automatically modify the Windows
Firewall settings to allow the following Emonitor components to operate: Emonitor
OPC Server and OPC Enumerator, SQL Server, DCOM, Enlive, and the Emonitor
Online programs (Enwatch/6600 Setup, Online Data Console, Create Loadfile, Load
and Unload). Then the DCOM Security configuration program runs to complete the
modifications.
10. For Oracle or MS SQL Server databases, enter the name of the database
alias/tnsname reference for the Entek database in the Connect field, and the username
and password in the following fields. You may want to write down this string so you
remember it later. Click Next to continue.
Repeat this procedure at the next screen for the EConfig database.
The message “The Windows Firewall configuration interface is unavailable” may appear if
the Windows Firewall is disabled. If you are using some other software or hardware firewall,
you may need to manually configure it to allow the Emonitor programs to communicate.
IMPORTANT: If you do not enter the correct information, the next time you start Emonitor, the
program displays a database connection error message. Click Retry and enter the correct
information (your connect string, username, and password). Due to enhanced security in
Emonitor versions 3.40 and later, the password is encrypted and can no longer be edited in
the Registry.
