Overview

If you get this message box: This means your pc has lost connection to your server

You will then get this box - Click New and enter the name of your server
Click on Test which will give you a message confirming connection OK
Click Save

If the error keeps persisting the problem could be the server is going into sleep mode
- to fix this issue follow the steps below:

Go to Start => Control Panel

Select System

Then select Hardware tab - then OK

Then Select Device Manager then OK

Expand the Network Adapters and double click on your controller or right mouse click then properties

Select Power Management- Then OK

Now untick Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power then select ok
- this will now reset the computer network

Now also check the Fire wall connection - Go back to the Control Panel and select Windows
Firewall.

If the fire wall is turned off no action is required but we suggest you create the exceptions anyway.

If Firewall is turned on then you will need to allow some exceptions - these exceptions are for
MySQL and ERP.

If the ports are not already there then you will need to create them by selecting Add Port.
Create Port Number 3309 for ERP
and Port Number 3310 for MySQL as follows

Next if required

Right mouse click in the middle of your screen and select properties - then select Screen Saver

Then go into Power management

Ensure that the Hardrives do not turn off, but ensure you have a screen saver active.

Lastly go into Start =>Control Panel and if you have any Virus scans running ensure the firewall settings
have also been given exceptions to Port 3309 and 3310

Now go to your ERP icon and open up the programe if the following message box appears select Reconnect

Ensuring that all the databases are on the same Version. If any are in brackets the user version does not
match the server and will require updating.

How to test all is working go to Start=>explore=>Programe Files=> ERP Software=>Connection.ini

All server names should be the same

If they are not then the error message will appear again so you need to ensure you have the
Correct computer/server name

Go to Start =>my computer double click or Right mouse click to select System Properties
