In case of a networked environment, two or more computers can be linked up by LAN (Local Area Network) through a HUB or a wireless router. All GIRS data will be saved in the hard disk of the host Server computer, and can be accessed and viewed from any one of the computers. Only one computer (the host Server) need to install the SQL Server and the GIRS program. The other computers (Inspection stations) need only to install the GIRS program; and the data in the host Server can be shared among computers in the same network. Please consult your IT staff or external IT experts to support in setting up the network. 67 Network Application (cont.) A typical example of network setup is shown below. 68 7. 7.1 Client Station Setting Login the computer used at the Inspection Station (Client) Double click the GIRS Supervisor icon to start program and you will see the screen below. 69 7.1 Client Station Setting (cont.)
