3 Installing Eloquence on the Windows 32 bit platform
Configuring Windows NT and Windows 95
After the initial installation of the Eloquence software configuration of the Windows NT or Windows 95 system is required:
- Configure host names
- Configure service names
Additional configuration of the Dialog subsystem is required. This involves editing the configuration files eloqcl.ini and eqexec.ini. Please refer to the Eloquence Dialog Manual for more information.
If you installed the Eloquence server software (Windows NT only) additional configuration is required:
- Configuring the eloqsd service
- Configuring the eloqdb6 service
Configure host names
You may want to define the host name of your server in your HOSTS file. Unless you use DNS to resolve host names, this is required as the dialog subsystem relies on the server name.
The location of your HOSTS file depend on your Windows version:
- Windows NT
- \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
- Windows 95
- \WINDOWS
Please add a line like below to your HOSTS file:
192.168.1.1 server
where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address and server is the host name of your server system.
Configure service names
You may want to define the Eloquence specific service names in your SERVICES file. This is optional, as you can specify the port number directly instead of a service name.
The location of your SERVICES file depends on your Windows version:
- Windows NT
- \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
- Windows 95
- \WINDOWS
Please add a line like below to your SERVICES file:
runsrv 8010/tcp # Eloquence RunSRV
eloqsd 8100/tcp # Eloquence server
eloqdb 8102/tcp # Eloquence data base server
eloqdb5 8104/tcp # Eloquence A.05.x data base server
where the first column specifies the service name (eg. runsrv) and the second column the associated port number and protocol (eg. 8010/tcp). The selected port numbers may not already be in use by another programs.
NOTE: All systems must use the same port numbers in order to communicate.
