Section 9 – Configuring and Setting Up POS and Form Designer
Now that you have the JMC Web server setup and running, the next step is to configure the server so that it
will allow connections from the JMC POS and Form Designer applications. To do this, we have to open up
port 3306 on the server.
Go to the Start menu, and up and over to the right to Administrative Tools, and then up and over to
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. In that window, click on Inbound Rules in the upper left, and
New Rule… in the upper right. At the first screen of the wizard, click on Port and then Next.
Select TCP at the top, and put in 3306 in Specific local ports at the bottom, and click on Next. Then select
Allow the connection at the top, and click on Next. Then you can just leave all of the selections checked, and
click on Next.
Then put in a name for this rule. For example, MySQL Port 3306, and then click on Finish. The new rule will
now be listed at the top, so you can exit by clicking on the X in the top right corner.
You now need to configure any computer(s) that will run the JMC POS and/or Form Designer applications, so
that they can communicate with the JMC Web server. We suggest you install Form Designer on at least one
computer in each building in the district.
