C) AWDMS SETUP TOOL (Convert Postgresql to Mysql database)

By default, AWDMS is installed with a Postgresql Server. However, it is recommended to switch to MySQL for better support. In order to switch to MySQL, you need to run AWDMS setup tool after the PC is restarted.

By now, your AWDMS installation and AWDMS setup have been completed. It will take some time for the AWDMS software to load, after this setup. You may proceed to Ingress first to configure AWDMS. Go to Desktop > Double click on the TimeTec AWDMS icon to run the software.

 

3. In Ingress software, go to System Settings > Integration > AWDMS Information

 

4. Click Edit > Key in the AWDMS Server IP Address > AWDMS Port Number > AWDMS Username and Password > Test Connection > Save. If it is successful, a popup dialog box with “Connected To Server” will be shown.


Server : 127.0.0.1

Port : 8098
