2.2. Installing the OPC Server
The Trusted TM OPC Server must be installed and configured before OPC clients can use it. Installation
is accomplished by running the setup program on the installation CD, which will run automatically if
Autoplay is enabled.
In addition to the OPC Server, the setup program will install a number of files required for OPC. The
setup program also updates the registry to allow OPC clients to browse for and connect to the server.
Windows versions NT, 2000 and XP require administrator privileges in order to complete the
installation. Windows NT installations require Service Pack 4 or higher. Basic configuration consists of
telling the OPC Server which Controller to connect to, where to find its symbol database, and how fast
to poll the controller for updates.
The installation program offers the option of a full installation, which includes the OPC Server, and
‘Remote Configuration Program Only’, which only provides the configuration tool and not the OPC
Server.
The installation program allows a specific username to be used to run the service. If the service is to
run under the local system account, there is no need to enter a user and password. If a specific user is
required and was given the privilege in section 2.1, enter the username and password.
The installation will ask for the serial number supplied with the package on a label, as shown in Figure
3. Enter the serial number and attach the label to the PC on which the OPC Server is installed.
