Installing the JMC Online Software on a Web Server
The JMC Online Software must be installed on the school's web server in order for JMC
data to be available for viewing and/or editing over the Internet/intranet. The following
is a brief description of the steps involved:
- selecting the server(s) (hardware and software) that will be used in conjunction
with the JMC Online Software
- assigning the appropriate private or public IP address to the web server
- installing the JMC Online Software
- configuring the server(s) to allow appropriate access to the JMC Online
Software
- temporarily installing and running a JMC Office Application (one time - for
configuration purposes)
- configuring the online modules using the Online Settings option in the JMC
Office Application
- creating and publishing the web links for the various online modules
- editing user accounts for parents, students, and or teachers as appropriate
Technical issues and detailed installation instructions can be found later in this document.
For more detail regarding the server and network setup of the JMC Online Software,
please contact JMC technical support at 800-524-8182 or by email at
[email protected] .
Once the JMC Online Software is installed and running properly, parents, staff, teachers,
and students can begin processing transactions over the Internet or school intranet. The
school may wish to set up a link on the school's web page to use for logging into the
various JMC online modules. Also, if your school is using the Parent Access or Student
Access modules of the JMC Online Software, you may wish to publicize (school's web
site, cable TV channel, mailing, newspaper article, student handbook, other) the web link
to the general public and inform them of the steps involved in accessing the system.
Documentation for parents and/or teachers can be downloaded from JMC's web site at
www.jmcinc.com; however, additional information such as the web link addresses will
need to be provided to parents, students, and teachers by your school.
