EXTERNAL WEB SERVER

The Web Server option in JT allows specific web-enabled devices to communicate through the web server to Jarrison Time. The Devices can be located anywhere that has an Internet connection (or GSM signal, depending on device) and it will link back into JT. Setting up this option will require several details from your service provider and relicensing. On the General-2 tab you will then need to complete some details, provided by supplier. Once the server and SQL details have been entered, click on 'Connect' to ensure that you can communicate with the web server. The ‘Initialize DB’ button will set all database records as exported.

Next the device configuration must be set.

Click on 'Access' then 'Devices' from the menu bar.

Details should be as follows:

  1. Name..........Enter a device-specific name
  2. Device Type...External Web
  3. Serial No.....Found on the device itself or from a System Information device menu option.

Further configuration changes must be made on the device itself, and these changes will depend on the type of device being connected as configuration details vary between device types. Some devices may require a firmware upgrade before being capable of working with web server, check with your supplier for further information.

  1. Perform a complete system backup and restore it on the new SQL server. JT Manager can be used to assist with the process.
  2. Login to Jarrison on the old server.
  3. From the menu bar go to Setup, System Configuration, and then the General-2 tab.
  4. Select the box next to Decommission and route users to new SQL Server.
  5. Enter the new server’s details in the Server Name field.
  6. Click ‘Test Connection’ to check the connection is working.
  7. After clicking on ‘OK’ a warning message as below will appear.

    After ‘OK’ is clicked Jarrison Time will connect with the new server.
