The Dashboard installs with the Server Components as part of a complete Setup. You will need a Dashboard installed on the computer where the Spector 360 Databases are installed to perform some of the database management tasks.
In addition to installing the Dashboard with the Server Components, you will install it on individual managers' PCs. These managers will use the Dashboard to access and view recordings in the Spector 360 Database. Use the Dashboard Management tool to give each manager a unique Dashboard login to the database. See the Spector 360 Dashboard Guide
Note: The Spector 360 Dashboard requires Microsoft .NET Framework (DNF) and Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). If the Setup program does not find the correct .NET component, it displays a message and you must download and install it. Setup automatically installs MDAC if it is not found. If the components already exist on the computer, the Setup does not install them.
To start a Dashboard-only install:
Run the Setup sp360setup62.exe program.
Double-click the downloaded program icon or insert the CD in your CD
drive to auto-start the Setup program.
If any Spector 360 for Network components have been installed on this computer, you are prompted to choose to uninstall or reinstall components.
Deselect "All Spector 360
Components" and select only Dashboard.
Read the license agreement, and if you agree to the terms click Yes to accept them.
Enter your 16-character Spector 360
serial number and click OK. You
will NOT have to re-register and unlock the installation if the Server
Components are already registered.
Following Database installation, click Next to begin the Dashboard installation.
If you are prompted, download newer Spector 360 Dashboard files from the SpectorSoft web site. If the "Current" version is the latest version available, you will not see this prompt.
Choose a destination folder for the
Dashboard program:
The default location is C:\Program Files\Spector
360\Spector 360 Dashboard. If you wish, click Change
to navigate to a different location. Select a location or type a path
next to "Folder name," and click OK.
Click Next to accept the destination
folder.
Install the application:
Confirm the setup type and destination folder. Click Back
to make changes. Click Install
to proceed. Wait for the application to be installed.
Specify the Spector 360 Database
this Dashboard will access:
Enter computer\SPECTOR360 where computer
is the name of the computer where you have installed the Spector
360 Databases. If you are installing all components on this computer,
use this computer's name.
Click the [...] button to select computer\SPECTOR360 from a list of computers with SQL Server.
If you wish, click Connect
to test the current computer's ability to connect to the SQL Server
instance you selected. Login to the database
using the System Administrator sa
login name and the password you defined in the Database Setup step above.
Click OK.
A message tells you if the connection was successful. Click OK.
Even if the connection is not successful, you can continue setting up
the Dashboard. You will get a chance to enter database and connection
information later. Also, see Installation
Errors.
Click OK to accept the Spector 360 SQL Server instance.
When the install wizard has completed, click Finish. Following a Dashboard-only installation, you may be prompted to restart the computer. If you are installing all Server Components, continue with the Control Center installation.
Note: After installing the Dashboard, create a Dashboard login for each manager. You can start the Dashboard at this computer, log in as SA, and create a login as part of your installation, or you can return to your Administrator station to set up the Dashboard logins for all managers.
