Network
The server contains the database with no inventory information held on the clients. The server client design is an advance on the standard file sharing methods and requires far less data be transferred over the network.
The client setup just requires the download and install from the link above, and the name of the computer on which the 4-Shop SC server is installed (Client, Utilities menu, Server). The client program is essentially a dumb terminal that can be added or removed from computers as required.
The product requires a standard Microsoft 'Workgroup' network. The shareware versions may be used to check connectivity. Typically to connect two computers all that may be required is to plug the network cables into the same ADSL router. It is not necessary for the internet to be connected.
LAN
The product is designed for use on a LAN and uses the robust Microsoft RPC technology. Please note that using the server over an internet WAN is not a supported topology.
Deployment
The client program offers the common point of sale functions and as no local database is maintained requires minimal maintenance. It takes all but a few local settings (printer, till) from the server. The 4-Shop SC file structure is identical to that of our standard 4-Shop permitting a straightforward upgrade path.
The server and client may be run on the same computer for evaluation purposes.
