Reference Manual 303042EN, Edition 1November 2007 TankMaster Network Configuration
2.1 WINDOWS CONFIGURATION
This chapter applies to both servers and clients. The Windows configuration includes the following steps:
1. Windows network configuration, see “Windows network configuration” on page 2-3.
2. Configuration of regional and language settings, see “Configure regional and language settings” on page 2-5.
3. TankMaster installation, see “TankMaster installation” on page 2-5.4. Windows firewall configuration, see “Configuring the Windows firewall”
on page 2-6.5. DCOM configuration, see “Configuring DCOM settings” on page 2-8.6. Enabling the shared folder TM, see “Enable shared folder TM” on
page 2-13.7. Verifying the access permission on the shared folder TM, see “Access
permission on shared folder TM” on page 2-15.
A detailed description of these steps is given in the following sections.
2.1.1 Windows network configuration
Before installing TankMaster, it must be decided how the computers shall be connected to the network, i.e. if a domain or a workgroup shall be used.
A workgroup is the simplest alternative and does not require a separate logon server, but the same Windows user name and password must be used on all connected computers. This because the matching of the user is done locally in the server. If different user names are used, WinOpi produces an Access denied error message at connection time.
On a domain, different Windows user names can be used as long as they are members of the same domain. A domain requires a separate domain server.
Workgroup
When installing TankMaster in a workgroup, perform the following steps:• Create a Windows user name with administrator rights on the server
and all clients. User name: TMSystemPassword: TankMaster
• Configure both server and clients to auto logon on Windows with the newly created user name TMSystem, see “Configure auto logon in a Workgroup” on page 2-4.
• Restart and verify that the automatic logon works.
2-3Section 2. Installation
Reference Manual303042EN, Edition 1
November 2007TankMaster Network Configuration
Configure auto logon in a WorkgroupIt is recommended to use the auto logon feature on the server and all dedicated WinOpi clients.
1. Click Start > run.Type control userpasswords2 in the Open field, click OK.
Figure 2-2. User Accounts window.
2. Clear the check box Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer and click Apply. When the Apply button is pressed, the Automatically Log On window appears.
Figure 2-3. Automatically Log On.
3. Enter TMSystem in the User name field and TankMaster in the Password field. Confirm the password. Click the OK button.
Domain
When installing TankMaster in a domain, perform the following steps:• Create a Windows user name with administrator rights on the domain
server. The user shall have Administrators right on the local computer.User name: TMSystemPassword: TankMaster
• Configure both server and clients to auto logon on Windows with the newly created user name TMSystem, see “Configure auto logon for a domain” on page 2-5.
• Restart and verify that the automatic logon works.
NOTEIt is recommended that the same Windows user name is used on all TankMaster Servers and dedicated WinOpi clients.
2-4 Section 2. Installation
Reference Manual 303042EN, Edition 1November 2007 TankMaster Network Configuration
Configure auto logon for a domainIf more than one domain servers are present, it´s important that the TankMaster server and the WinOpi clients are connected to the same domain.
It is recommended that both the TankMaster server and all dedicated WinOpi clients have auto logon enabled as well, since reports and alarms are created on the clients. To enable the auto logon feature in a domain, create a file in Notepad and save it as AutoLogon.reg. Type the following in the AutoLogon.reg file:
REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wndows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]“DefaultUserName”=”WINDOWS_DOMAIN_USER_NAME”“DefaultPassword”=”WINDOWS_DOMAIN_PASSWORD”“AutoAdminLogon”=”1”
Change the WINDOWS_DOMAIN_USER_NAME and WINDOWS_DOMAIN_PASSWORD to the newly created user name and password. Save and run the AutoLogon.reg file.
2.1.2 Configure regional and language settings
In the Control Panel, click Regional and Language Options.• Verify that all the computers use the same location.• Check the decimal symbol in the Numbers tab by clicking the
Customize button. Full stop “.” is recommended as decimal point.
2.1.3 TankMaster installation
1. Attach a hardware key with the inventory and network options enabled to the PCs.
2. Connect the server PC to the network switch and to the FCU.3. Install the Windows XP fix located on the TankMaster CD (Windows XP
SP2 Hotfix\WindowsXP-KB922668-x86-ENU.exe).4. Install Rosemount TankMaster on the server PC, see TankMaster

NOTESince Everyone includes all authenticated users, it is often desirable to add these permissions to a smaller subset of users. One way to accomplish this is to create a group named TM Users. Add all user names to this group that will execute any OPC Server or Client e.g. user TMSystem(1). Then substitute TM Users everywhere that Everyone appears in the configuration dialogs described above. It is also possible to use a specific user, e.g. user TMSystem instead of the group Everyone.

2.2 TIME SERVER CONFIGURATION
Configure all nodes to synchronize the system time with the same source.
Define one node to be the TankMaster time server (e.g. the primary server in a redundant system). All other TM nodes shall synchronize the computer system time with the time server, see “Time Client Configuration” on page 2-19.
On the time server, a firewall port must be opened in order for the clients to be able to receive the current time.
To open a port do the following:
1. From the Control Panel, on the time server PC, double-click the Windows Firewall icon.

3.1 DCOM ERROR MESSAGES
If the problem is DCOM related, look in the Windows Event Viewer for error messages. Check both the client and the servers Event viewer. The Event Viewer is located in the Control Panel under Administrative Tools.
3.1.1 Server not available
This message means that the remote computer is down. The connection time-out can be up to 140 - 150 seconds depending on the current network setup.
3.1.2 Access is denied This message points to improper configuration of the DCOM settings.
The message will be presented with no time delay to the user.
3.1.3 Server execution failed
The message “Server execution failed” is presented in case no user is logged on.
The message will be presented with no time delay to the user.
3.1.4 System message about protocol servers ...
If the message is regarding protocol servers on remote stations verify all necessary steps when configuring DCOM, see “Configuring DCOM settings” on page 2-8.
3.1.5 The object exporter specified was not found
The computer has no IP address. This may be shown as error code 0x80070776 returned from a failed connection.
3.1.6 The object has disconnected from it´s clients
DCOM clients ping the server object. In case these pings are undetected by the server, during approximately 6 minutes, the server disconnects from these clients. Normally, WinOpi clients will detect this error before and try to re-establish the connection to the server.
3.2 OTHER
3.2.1 Unable to connect to shared folder TM
When trying to access the shared folder TM, an access denied message is presented. Verify that the user TMSystem has logged in on all computers. If the problem still exists, try to un-share the TM folder and then re-share it again, see “Enable shared folder TM” on page 2-13.
