Installing the Advantage Database Server (ADS)  .....

Animal Intelligence™ and Microsoft® Windows® XP  .....
BRIEF:  Microsoft’s newest Windows operating system, version XP Professional, works well with Animal Intelligence.  There is only one change that needs to be made.  The scroll bars and title bars in XP are larger than with previous versions; this causes some Animal Intelligence forms to resize in an unattractive manner.  By reducing the width of these Windows elements, AI runs as before.

Installing Animal Intelligence and its Database  .....
BRIEF:  Animal Intelligence (AI), Animal Intelligence Software, Inc’s flagship Windows application, and the Advantage Database Server (ADS) by Extended Systems, Inc. are easy to install, but require that certain procedures are followed to ensure the best operation.  This document describes these steps, from network protocol considerations through final installation of the tested data files on the database server.  We recommend that you read this document in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.
This document is intended for use by experienced network personnel. 

These instructions are written assuming that Microsoft Windows NT or 2000 is employed as the network operating system.  We make no specific recommendation of one network operating system over another; ADS runs equally well under either Windows NT, 2000, or NetWare.  If Novell NetWare is used, you will have to adjust the procedures slightly.  The target workstation platform for AI is Microsoft Windows 95 or 98 although it works equally well on Windows2000 Professional.

Installing the AI Fax Driver in Windows2000 Professional  .....
BRIEF:  This document applies to Animal Intelligence® version 2.1, and Microsoft® Windows 2000 Professional.
Windows 2000 uses a fundamentally different printer driver setup than previous versions of the Windows operating system.  Because of this, you must install the AI fax printer driver manually.  This paper describes how to do so.

Installing the Fax Server in Animal Intelligence  .....
BRIEF:  Animal Intelligence offers a simple-to-use FAX server that makes it easy for any workstation on your network to “print” any report to FAX.  Individual workstations do not have to have a fax modem installed; rather, one or more workstations are designated as “fax servers” that wait for faxes to be generated by the rest of the workstations and then send them out.
This document describes how to set up and use the fax server, and how to install and use the fax printer driver on each workstation.
Note that these instructions differ significantly from the instructions for setting up the fax capabilities of Animal Intelligence versions prior to 2.0.
