MONITORONLINE USER MANUAL
Chapter I MonitorOnline Installation Prerequisites
The data management of MonitorOnline software is based on SQL_SERVER database. Therefore, SQL_SERVER database needs to be installed in advance to achieve the monitoring and recording of the entire system data.
Microsoft NET Framework 4.5 and database (SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 or SQL server 2008 or SQL server 2008R2 or SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2016 or SQL server 2017) must be set up before installing MonitorOnline software. The current mainstream databases are SQL Server 2008 and SQL server 2008R2.
SQL_SERVER Installation Environment
Operating System Requirements: according to the following table 1.0.
Computer Configuration Requirements: 4-core CPU, 4G RAM or more, 500G disk space.

Table.1.0 Operating System
Note: : Supporting this system;
\ : No such system.
Once Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 and SQL_SERVER are installed, you can start to install MonitorOnline Management Software, and please noted the selection of language during installation.
1.1 Login SSMS
The network management software needs to connect the database remotely to implement the operation, so it is necessary to make the pre-connected database and open the remote function before running MonitorOnline software. The specific steps as following: Step One: Open SQL Server Management Studio and login as windows, then right click SQL Server , choose Properties (see Fig.1.1). Step Two: After clicking “Properties” choose on the left, then choose Server and Windows Authentication in Server authentication to enable hybrid login mode(see Fig.1.2).
Step Three: Choose “Connections” on the left, check remote connections to this then click button (see Fig.1.3).
Step Four: Unfold “Security’-> “Logins’-> “sa”, then right click “sa” and choose “Properties” (see Fig. 1.4).
Note: The user name can only be “sa”, cannot be modified.Step Five: Choose “General” on the left, then choose “SQL Server authentication” on the right and set password, click “OK” button (see Fig.1.5).
Step Six: Choose “Status” on the left, choose “Grant” and “Enabled” on the right and click “OK” button (see Fig.1.6).
Step Seven: Back to SQL Server Management Studio login interface, right click SQL Server, choose “Facets” (see Fig.1.7).
Step Eight: Choose “Server Configuration” from the drop-down box of “Facets” and set the properties of “Remote Access Enabled” as “true”, then click “OK” button (see Fig.1.8).
Note: Now, SSMS has been set up. Exit first, then log in with “sa”. If it is successful, it means the “sa” account is enabled. Otherwise, please check whether the network connection can be pinged. If the network connection is normal, please further confirm whether you followed the above steps.1.2 Deploy SSMS
Step Nine: Open SQL Server Configuration Manager to start configuring SSCM , choose “SQL Server Services” on the left, please make sure the state of “SOL Server” and “SQL Server Browser” is running on the right (see Fig.1.9).
Note: It is usually necessary to reboot SQL Server after shutdown and restart, but SQL Server is still running after closing the SQL Server Configuration Manager program box.Step Ten: Choose “Protocols for MSSQLSERVER” under the node of SQL Server Network Configuration on the left. The default status of TCP/IP is Disabled (see Fig.1.10). Please set status of TCP/IP as “Enable” by right click or opening TCP/IP Properties interface by double click (see Fig1.11), then modify “active” to “yes”, click “OK” button.
Note: TCP/IP protocol is generally enabled, and can be tested by ping.Step Eleven: Right click “TCP / IP’, select “IP Address” under “Properties” or double click to open the settings panel and select the “IP Address” tab, then set the port of TCP as “1433”, and click “OK” button. (see Fig.1.12).
Step Twelve: Set TCP/IP of Client Protocols as “Enable” . (see Fig.1.13)Step Thirteen: Turn off the firewall or add SQL Serve.exe to the program list that allows the firewall to run. If you choose the latter, please open the firewall settings to add SQLServr.exe (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe) to the allowed list, the concrete steps are as follows:
(1) Click the “start” to open control panel
(2) Click “View network status and tasks” (see Fig.1.14)(3) Click “Windows Firewall” in Fig.1.15, the interface will pop up” (see Fig.1.16)
(4) Click “Allow a program of feature through Windows Firewall” (see Fig.1.16).
(5) Click “Changes settings” button and “Allow another program” button (see Fig.1.17). Then add “SQLServr.exe” to the list of allowed list according to the path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe”
(6) Click “Browse” and open Program Files folder in C (see Fig.1.18).
(7) Open “Microsoft SQL Server” folder (see Fig.1.19).
(8) Open “MsSQL10.MSSQLSERVER” folder (see Fig.1.20). Then open “MssQL” folder
(9) Open “Binn” folder (see Fig.1.21).
(10) Double-click “sqlservr” (see Fig.1.22).
(11) Click “Add” button to add SQL Server Windows NT-64bit to “Allow Programs“(see Fig.1.23).
(13) The configuration is complete now. Please start SQL Server Management Studio and login.
Note:
If you open SQL Server Management Studio before starting SQL Server and SQL Server Browser, you need to shut it down and then restartit.
Chapter II MonitorOnline Installation Procedures
2.1 MonitorOnline Installation
Double-click MonitorOnline.exe or MonitorOnline.msi of MonitorOnline.exe folder to install MonitorOnline. Please keep going to the next step until the installation is successful (see Fig.2.1)
Note: Based on the software version in the CD. The Shortcut will be created after installing Monitor Online, as shown in Fig.2.2.
2.2 Connect Database
Step 1: Double click Fig.2.2, the interface will pop up(see Fig.2.3). After filling in the user name and password (the default login name and password are both admin), click “Login” to log in the system. If you have connected to the database, the system interface will pop up directly. If you do not connect to the database, you will be prompted to connect to the database. and click “Database Connection” button, the interface of database connection will pop up(see Fig.2.4). Step 2: Input MNU IP address (IP address of NMU card ), Localhost address (Computer IP of installing database), Login name (Default as “sa” ) and Login password ( password set when installing the database) of database, and click “confirm” button In Fig.2.4.If the database is existent and the connection is successful, then user can log in to the system. If the database does not existand the connection is unsuccessful, the interface of establishing a database will pop up (see Fig.2.6).
Step 3: Please click “Confirm” buttonin Fig.2.5, then the interface of database configuration will pop up as shown in Fig.2.6.
Step 4: Input Localhost address (Computer IP of installing database) and Login password ( password set when installing the database) of database, and click “Create” button In Fig.2.6 to create database, after creating database, the interface of “Submit success” will pop up, and click “OK” button, then the database connection interface will pop up as shown in Fig.2.4. The other steps are same with Step 2, complete the database connection and user login operation, you can log in the system.
Note:
- Both the initial login account and initial password of network management software are admin.
- After the user finishing the configuration database on the local machine. If the configuration information of the device (such as Localhost address, NMU address, and database) does not change, user can skip the database connection and configure the operation to log in directly; if the device configuration information changes, the user needs to re-database connection and configuration.
- Ifanerror occurs during the database connection operation, the following interface will pop up (see Fig.2.7):
Solutions for error interface:
- The NMU’s IP address is incorrect. Please check whether the NMU IP can be pinged.
- The Localhost address is incorrect. Please check the IP address of the PC network card.
- The SA database password is incorrect. Please pay attention to keyboard capitalization
- SQL Sever is not enabled. Please configure the SQL service properly.
