Server
and Client Installations
Our
recommended network setup is to use the Network
Server Installation to place the Ainsworth
files on the network server, and then use the Network
Client Installation to place icons and
Windows support files on each client computer. Select one of these three
installations, depending on the network server software.
Server
Installation -
This installation will place the Ainsworth Keypad Trainer program files
in a location you select and will place the required Windows support
files in the Windows\System folder. This installation will also place
an icon on the desktop for starting the program.
Client
Installation -
This installation will install the Windows support files in the local
Windows\System folder and will create an icon on the desktop for launching
the Ainsworth Keypad Trainer software. After installing the server software,
run this Client Install on each client computer.
Network
installations for terminal server systems
terminal server Installation -
Select this installation if you are using Citrix or similar server software
that requires installing multiple copies of the program on the server.
This installation will place the Ainsworth Keypad Trainer program files
in a location you select and will also place the required Windows support
files in the Windows\ System folder. This installation option allows
multiple copies to be run without activating the multiple copy warning
message.
Keyboard
Manager Installation
The
Ainsworth Keyboard Manager program may be installed anywhere on your
network to view or print progress reports, individual records, and test
results.
History
File Options
Individual history
files may be selected by password, from a roster of user names, automatically
on the network server using the network login script, or on separate disks.
Password required
for each user
A password is required when the program starts. A separate history file
is created for each user and stored in the location you specify. If
no history file location is specified, history files are stored in the
same folder as the main program.
User
names selected from a roster
An open roster at the beginning of the program allows any number of
people to keep individual records automatically. Anyone can add new
names or delete names at any time. A separate history file is created
for each user and stored in the location you specify. If no history
file location is specified, history files are stored in the same folder
as the main program.
History files
stored automatically (network only,
not available with stand-alone installation) The program creates a history
file for each user. The file is located in a specific folder on the
network server. This folder is set as the Default location in a drive
that contains individual folders for all users. The drive letter for
storing history files must be specified to complete this option for
history files.
No history information
saved
In a testing and evaluation session, you may not wish to create any
permanent computer storage of test results. In this configuration, a
person may use the program for a practice session, or take a specific
test, without saving history files in any permanent location. Test results
can be printed immediately after any test is taken. This documentation
includes test scores and a graded copy of the test as typed.
Alternate
network installation with programs stored on client computers
If you prefer installing
all software on the client computers and only using the network server
to store history files, you will need to use a slightly different installation
procedure. Use the Single
Computer Install to install the program
on each client computer. If you are saving history files on the server,
create this collection folder first so that you can designate this location
when installing on the client computers.
There are several
things to consider when using the alternate method for installing all
the software on each client computer. Individual copies of the data files
used in creating the Keypad Tests, Data Entry Tests, and the Standard
Test will also be stored on each client in the program folder. If a custom
test is later created or modified, the replacement file for this test
must be loaded individually onto each client computer (instead of changing
this file once on the server). The Ainsworth Keypad Options program
will also be included in the files placed in the program folder on each
client computer. If access to these options is to be restricted, then
access to this program must also be restricted. This program can simply
be deleted after the desired options have been selected.
Special
network options
The
Ainsworth Keypad Options
program may be used independently of the the product installation to view
or set several additional program options. We have provided this program
separately so that a complete installation and setup is not required for
more routine changes to the Ainsworth software programs.
For a complete listing
of the available options, see Custom
Configurations.

the Standard Test, see Custom
Tests.
