I have installed: Express Delegate 4.03 on a WinXP computer (as server).
I have installed: Express Scribe 4.05 on an OS X computer (as client).
I've setup user accounts and a typing pool using the web interface.
Now I'm stuck.
How do I "point" the client towards the server (I know that I will need Server Name, User Name, Password and Directory what I don't know is where to find this information on the server. Also, what issues do I need to be aware of with my router? Will I need to open ports / setup DMZ etc?
Assuming we get the above point sorted, my second question is that: if my WinXP computer is acting in the role of server then surely it would have to remain on all the time for typists to download dictations and upload transcripts?
If this is the case, as it is a laptop this is not ideal.
What are my alternatives?
In an ideal world we'd pass this role onto an online provider.
If we do this then do we have to set-up a virtual WinXP, 2000 computer with an online provider to accomodate this?
We then of course come into the next issue of cost. Online providers of this sort of service aren't cheap.
Does NCH have a service whereby you act as server for us where we can upload dictations / download transcripts securely?
Many thanks for the help,
Oliver
