Installation Types

There are two main types of AMS Machinery Manager installations:

• Standalone (or Single-user standalone)

• Network (or Single-user network and Multiple-user network).

1.3.1 Standalone installation

A Standalone system allows you to use periodic technology with one computer and CSI

Machinery Health Analyzers. A standalone installation indicates you have a single copy of

AMS Machinery Manager with a single serial number on one computer.

You can install these components:

• AMS Machinery Manager

• AMS Standalone Data Transfer (on a different computer)

• AMS Machinery Manager ODBC Driver

Network installations

A network system allows you to use online technology and periodic technology. AMS

Machinery Manager communicates with a CSI Machinery Health Monitor using a network

connection. A network system is deployed on a local area network (LAN) or a wide area

network (WAN).

You can install these components:

• AMS Machinery Manager

• Online Server

• Secondary Database Server

• Data Import Server

• AMS Machinery Manager Data Import Client

• AMS Standalone Data Transfer (on a different computer)

• AMS Machinery Manager ODBC Driver

• Machine History Viewer

• Collaboration Tool

• CSI Data Provide

Single-user and multiple-user LAN

A Single-user network indicates you have a Network Server and a Client installed on one

computer and have one serial number. Single-user network allows the Client to be

installed on other computers in the network. However, only one user can log in at a time.

This installation is used for single user customers with an online system.

A Multiple-user network indicates you have a Network Server and a Client installed on a

server-class computer, and the Client installed on other computers in the network.

Multiple users can log in at the same time.

Multiple-user WAN

The WAN system is designed to allow remote AMS Machinery Manager users to load,

dump, and view data over wide area networks, such as private networks, virtual private

networks(1), or the Internet.

• Installing localized AMS Machinery Manager is supported on a Windows system of

the same language with default regional settings. For example, install AMS

Machinery Manager (German) on Windows (German).

• Installing localized AMS Machinery Manager on an English Windows system is not

recommended. If you install localized AMS Machinery Manager on Windows

(English), text may not display properly.

• When you upgrade AMS Machinery Manager, the language must match the

currently installed AMS Machinery Manager language. For example, update AMS

Machinery Manager v5.51 (German) to AMS Machinery Manager v5.6 (German). To

change the AMS Machinery Manager language you need a full installation instead of

an upgrade.

• Avoid changing Windows regional settings. Changes may cause unexpected

behavior in AMS Machinery Manager.

• Installing English AMS Machinery Manager on a non-English Windows system is

supported for Windows (Japanese) only.
