5. DCOM Configuration
The OPC Server can be used in a configuration with the server and client on separate PCs. To do this
the DCOM protocol is used to communicate between the PCs.
To configure DCOM to allow the PCs to communicate, follow the instructions for the appropriate
operating system. The configuration must be done with a user that is in the Administrators group.
NOTE: The Gateway module (8170) already has the default settings configured correctly. Therefore
only the OPC Server specific settings need to be applied.
When configured, the same username and password must be used on the OPC Server PC and the
OPC client PC. The users must be members of the Administrators group on their respective PCs.
Note that the example figures below will appear differently on Windows 2000, XP service pack 1 and
XP service pack 2.
