Installation and Configuration Of
The Orderer Software Release 3.0
In order to use TecCom, you need the CD ROM with the TecLocal orderer software and your personal TecID and TecCom password. This access data will be sent to you after you register with TecCom as a customer. Please contact our Help Desk to register with TecCom.
TecLocal can be installed as a single- or multi-user solution.
These instructions are for a single-user installation. For this you will need a regular PC that can be connected to the Internet using a modem (analog, ISDN or DSL) or local area network (LAN). In a multi-user installation, the software is installed on more than one PC with access to a central database using a local network. Contact our Help Desk for support if you would like to use TecLocal in multi-user mode.
Checklist:
In order to install TecLocal you will need: The TecLocal Rel. 3.0 Orderer CD Rom
The TecID and the TecCom Password. TecCom will send you this Access Information and the TecLocal CD as soon as you have registered as a customer with TecCom.
A PC with Internet access
You will need administrator rights on your PC in order to install the software. Put the CD in your CD ROM drive and leave it there during the whole installation process. If the starting screen does not appear automatically, open it with a double click on the file TEC-Starter.exe on the CD.
1. Click on Installation. This starts the Installation wizard. Confirm your choice of the standard settings in the single steps of the installation wizard. This will install TecLocal as an orderer in single user mode. We also recommend the standard settings for all data paths. This makes it easy to update the software later and to solve any technical problems that may occur.
This completes the installation. You can now remove the CD from the drive.
I. METHOD OF INSTALLATION
Checklist:
In order for the online connection to work properly, TecLocal must be installed according to the Installation instructions (s. previous chapter).
In order to establish the online connection over a modem (analog/ISDN/DSL), you must have Internet access (an Internet account) installed on your PC.
An access wizard is used to set up the connection with the TecCom Network.
The TecNet Access wizard simplifies the choice of settings by making proposals. It then establishes a test connection to the TecCom Network via the Internet. The settings will be stored in the TecLocal Administration and can be changed manually if desired.
Using the Access Wizard
Open TecLocal with a double click on the TEC-Local symbol on your screen.
You do not need any user data when you set up TecLocal for the first time. Use the username Demo provided by TecCom for the initial setup. Click on Login. You do not need a password for this username. Select the function area Administration (F5).
1. Click on My TecCom. When the menu opens click on Access to the TecCom Network in order to start the access assistant

Select this option if you would like to dial in to the Internet using an analog, ISDN or DSL modem. All Internet accounts on your PCwill be shown automatically by the access wizard.
If your PC is attached to a company network (LAN), this is not the right option for you.
• Using a direct network connection
The Internet connection is established over a local company network, i.e. over a router to which your PC is connected.
In some cases a proxy server is used. This provides central management of Internet access. Ask your IT administrator whether a proxy server is used and, if so, what its IP address is. This must be entered in the TEC-Net Access wizard.
If the proxy server requires a username and password for Internet access, you need to install TecGate and use it for access. Please contact the TecCom Help Desk in this case.
• According to the administration settings
When it tests the connection, the access wizard uses the parameters that are already present in the Access tab of the Administration area. No further settings have to be made in the access wizard.
2. Click on Continue.
1. The drop-down list will automatically display all Internet connections on your PC. Select the one you would like to use to connect to TecCom. If the list is empty, you do not have a dial-up Internet account. Exit the access wizard in this case and set up an internet connection before starting it again. How to do this is described in the Windows Help (usually under Start - Help).
2. Click on Continue
1. Here you enter whether you would like to terminate the Internet connection after a transaction. You can also enter a time of inactivity after which the connection will be terminated automatically.
