  10. Run the setup.exe application file listed in this folder. This will install the Workstation files.


  11. You will be asked to enter a workstation number. Just make sure this number is "Unique" and is different then any of the other workstations. For instance, first workstation can be "102", then next "103", then next "104" etc.s

  13. NOTES - If you open the software on the Workstation and it asks you for the Setup Options information, make sure to click the box on the bottom left corner that reads "Save for Workstation Defaults" and just fill out the information again. This will make it so you never have to fill this information out for each new workstation.

    If you don't see your Main Computer listed when trying to Map a Network Drive this means your internal network isn't setup properly. If you call our technical support line we will try our best to help you resolve this. Unfortunately in rare cases you may need a technician to physically be at your office location.
