Installing the API on another computer

[DadaDude]

I want to install the API on my own computer; this is not central SMS Server engine (the central SMS Messaging Server is installed on a server in our server room). Please help..

Do the following:

- Share the SMS Messaging Server base directory on the central SMS Messaging Server computer, so it can be accessed by a remote API or a remote Manager; for instance, share C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\SMS Messaging Server as SmsMessagingShare on computer MySmsServer; make sure that you grant Read+Write permissions on this share;
- Start a new installation of SMS Messaging Server on the client PC;
- During installation, choose 'Custom Setup' instead of 'Typical Setup';
- De-select the 'SMS messaginging Server Engine (service)' component, since you do not want to install another instance of the engine (service); instead, you want to make use of the engine on a remote server;
- Select which client components you want to use: API and/or Web Interface (ASP) and/or Manager application;
- You will be prompted for the location of the central SMS Messaging Server. Enter a valid UNC, for instance \\MySmsServer\SmsMessagingShare
- Go through all other installation items and finish the installation.

SMS Messaging Server is now configured to connect to the central SMS Messaging Server computer.
