Configuring Personal Express When Installed with Express Server

Installing Personal Express with Express Server

Personal Express and Express Server have the same default values for two configuration settings. Consequently, when you install both Personal Express and Express Server on the same Windows NT computer, you need to change the default values for one of these products.

The settings that you need to reconfigure are listed below:

• XCAPortNumber

• ServerObjectId

XCAPortNumber setting

The XCAPortNumber setting provides XCA clients with a unique identifier for Personal Express. The default value of this setting is 6543. This number identifies the port number that Personal Express monitors to accept incoming XCA requests.

When Personal Express and Express Server exist on the same Windows NT computer, you must take the following actions:

• Change the XCAPortNumber setting for one of the products.

• XCA clients typically use the default value of the XCAPortNumber setting to connect to Express. Consequently, you must ensure that XCA clients who want to connect to the product whose port number has been changed use its new, unique port number instead of the default.

ServerObjectId setting

The ServerObjectId setting provides SNAPI clients with a unique identifier for Personal Express. The default value of the ServerObjectId setting is the same for both products.

When Personal Express and Express Server exist on the same Windows NT computer, you must take the following actions:

• Change the default value of ServerObjectId setting for one of the products.

• SNAPI clients typically use the default value of the ServerObjectId to connect to Express. Consequently, you must ensure that SNAPI clients who want to connect to the product whose identifier has been changed must use its new, unique UUID instead of the default.
