MegaMatcher Accelerator Standard 3.0

2 System requirements
Before you can install MegaMatcher Accelerator Standard, your hardware should meet the following requirements1:
Computer with Intel i7 processor (64 bits processor)
12 GB of RAM (minimum requirement - 512 MB)
2 TB of hard disk space (minimum requirement 10 GB)
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
Also in order to install MegaMatcher Accelerator the following additional requirements should be met:
Constant internet connection. During installation some required components are downloaded from internet. So it is
required to have constant internet connection.
Empty hard disk. During installation hard disk content will be deleted. So it is recommended to use empty disk.

Warning: Do not install MegaMatcher Accelerator Standard on hard disk which contains important data. During installation
all data on hard disk will be lost.

1 - These hardware requirements are recommended. With minimum hardware requirements maximum capacity and speed
cannot be reached.

3 Installation
The guides listed below provide instructions on how to install MegaMatcher Accelerator Standard 3.0.
Check hardware requirements (

page 2) before installation. You hardware should meet minimum specified requirements.

Obtain installation CD. If you downloaded a CD (.iso) image, burn it to a CD2.

Insert Dongle3 to USB connector.
Start your computer and configure BIOS to allow booting from a CD.
Insert burned CD to CDROM. You will see MegaMatcher Accelerator Standard installation screen (Picture 1). Press Enter
button and installation process will start.
During installation some required files will be downloaded from internet. So it is required to have constant internet
connection. Note: Please, do not turn off your computer during installation.
After installation has finished, you can start using MegaMatcher Accelerator. See Getting Started with MegaMatcher
Accelerator Standard section on how to get started with MegaMatcher Accelerator.
Note: Computer IP address will be shown on screen after installation is finished. See Picture 2.

4.2 Starting server and node processes

MegaMatcher Accelerator Standard 3.0

4 Getting started
After you have installed MegaMatcher Accelerator Standard 3.0 you can start using it. You need to access Web
configuration ( page 5) and configure server.

4.1 Using Web Configuration

Web Configuration is used to configure and administrate MegaMatcher Accelerator. To connect to Web Configuration follow
instructions bellow:
1. Type in a browser IP address of the server (http://IP, where IP is an IP address of MegaMatcher Accelerator server). For
example, http://192.168.2.200. IP address depends on your network configuration. As a general rule, if it is the first time you
start the server, it will be preconfigured to receive an IP address using DHCP.
2. First time you start web configuration default login is Admin with password Admin. After you login to web configuration you
can change a password through Navigation panel Change password option.
3. When you have connected to web configuration you can configure and administrate the server using options in a
navigation panel.
Picture 5. Web Configuration main page
4. Quick Start Wizard can be used to configure and start server.
4.1. Type Selection. Select type of your server (Primary or Additional). If you have only one server, primary type should be
selected. For each additional server additional type should be used.
4.2. Primary server address (this step will be shown only when Additional server type was selected). When configuring
additional server, primary server IP address should be entered.
4.3. Network settings. Select network settings: DHCP (network will be configured automatically) or Static (network settings
should be entered). Use static settings only if your network does not support DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
4.4. Finish. Press Finish button to save settings. After you have finished server configuration, you will be redirected to
Server commands. Here you will be able to start server and node processes. See section Starting server and node process
( page 5) for more information on how to start these processes.

4.2 Starting server and node processes

To start working with MegaMatcher Accelerator and performing the main tasks server and node processes should be
started. After these processes were started insert templates (NTemplate) or send matching task to the server operations can
be performed.
To start server and node processes do the following steps:
1. Select server to act as the primary server. Go to Accelerator->Type Selection, select Primary and press Submit.
Picture 6. Server type selection from web configuration
2. Go to Accelerator->Server->Server commands, press Start server process.

3. After the server process was started it is also required to start node process. Go to Accelerator->Node->Node commands
and press Start node process.
Picture 8. Node commands
When server and node processes were started then it is possible to insert templates into server internal database and send
matching tasks.

4.3 Inserting and deleting templates

After you have started server and node processes, the next thing you can do is to send insert and delete commands to the
server. This basic task will show you how to work with MegaMatcher Accelerator. ServerDatabase tutorial is provided with
MegaMatcher Accelerator and demonstrates how to insert and delete templates (NTempate) into/from server internal
database.
For templates insertion ServerDatabaseCS (from downloaded MegaMatcher Accelerator package under
tutorials\CS\Server\ServerDatabaseCS) or ServerDatabase (tutorials\C\Server\ServerDatabase) can be used. These
tutorials should replace the same tutorials within MegaMatcher 3.1 SDK.
In the picture bellow is shown how to run ServerDatabaseCS tutorial from command line (before using this tutorial project file
should be built):
Picture 9. Templates insertion from command line
To insert or delete template this command is used:
[Tutorial name] [Command] [Template Id] [Path to template] [Server IP address] [Server
Admin listen port]
[Command] insert or delete
[Template Id] unique Id of a template to insert or delete
[Path to template] path to template to be inserted
[Server Admin listen Port] can be found through Web Configuration (Accelerator->Advance
configuration section)
Eg. ServerDatabaseCS.exe insert 1 template.data 127.0.0.1 24932
Notes
Samples, tutorials and other related files for MegaMatcher Accelerator can be downloaded from Neurotechnology website at
http://neurotechnology.com/cgi-bin/support.cgi#pu.

4.4 Sending matching tasks

MegaMatcher Accelerator also includes SendTask tutorial which can be useful to explore templates matching capabilities.
This tutorial demonstrates how to send matching task to the server (send template for matching). Also SendTask shows how
to retrieve matching results from the server. This tutorial can be downloaded from Neurotechnology website.
For sending matching tasks SendTask tutorial from MegaMatcher Accelerator package, which was downloaded from
Neurotechnology web site, should be copied to MegaMatcher 3.1 SDK folder (SendTask tutorial files should be replaced by
newly downloaded).

To send matching task this command is used:

optional)
[Path to template] path to template to be matched
[Query] - database query to execute (optional)
[Template type] - template type (optional - specify parameter only if template is not
NTemplate, but FMRecord ANSI or ISO). Parameter values: ansi or iso
Eg. SendTask.exe 127.0.0.1:25452 template.data
