Communication

Communication between server and client takes place using the TCP/IP protocol, which must be
activated.

The following ports are used as standard:

 User rights

In order to install versiondog, it is necessary to have (local) administrative rights on the server.

Account that executes the versiondog service:

If project data is to be stored on a central drive, you will require a service user account with full
access to the drive and administrative rights (local) on the server.

Email function

In order for the versiondog server to send email notifications, an email account on an SMTP mail
server must be available.

Software & drivers

l For some functions and in certain scenarios, additional software will be required. In some
cases, this additional software must be purchased separately

l Please note, in the case of 64 bit systems, certain hardware drivers must be installed.

l For S5 connections via the H1 protocol, the H1 driver included with versiondog can only be
used up to and including Windows Server 2008. It may be necessary to obtain an additional
H1 driver or use a versiondog Agent (available at extra charge) that is installed on another PC.
