SYSTEM CONFIGURATION/INSTALLATION TYPE

STANDALONE
The Standalone installation is self-contained on one workstation.

Users that have not yet installed HART and wish to install a Standalone version should:

1. Begin by reviewing the HART 1.4.0 Installation Guide.  
2. Use the HARTSetup-1.4.0.exe.

**Please Note: The Standalone and Network Client version of the application are both included in the HARTSetup-1.4.0.exe.


NETWORK CLIENT
The Network Client/Server installation uses a server to support one or more individual workstations, all accessing one database by multiple computers and users.

• Servers hold the central database and must utilize the server installation file first.
• Network Clients are placed on each user’s workstation, which then access the database stored on the server.

Users that have not yet installed HART and wish to install a Network/Client version should: 

1. Begin by reviewing the HART 1.4.0 Installation Guide.  
2. Use the HARTServerSetup-1.3.0.exe.
3. Use the HARTSetup-1.4.0.exe to install the HART Network Client to each workstation.
