Operator Workstation

Figure 6 Envision for BACtalk runs on each operator workstation locally and
accesses selected job data over the network.

The procedures described here involve sharing the Displays directory on the
server and then mapping to that directory from client operator workstations.
Variations on this procedure are possible for the purposes of flexibility. For
example, you may choose to share at a higher level than the Displays directory.
These variations are not addressed and require a thorough understanding of
Windows sharing and Envision for BACtalk.

X To share the <Displays> directory on the server

1. Start Windows Explorer.

2. Right-click the <Displays> directory, and then click Sharing on the

shortcut menu. (If Sharing does not appear, Windows sharing is not set
up correctly. See your Windows documentation for more information.)

3. On the Sharing tab, click Share this folder.

4. In the Share Name box, type a name for the directory. Make a note of
this name; you will need it later in this procedure, whenever
<sharename> is referenced.

5. Set up permissions, if desired. (See your Windows documentation for

more detailed instructions).

6. Click OK.
