Alarm Cast Administrator Database Conversion

About this task

The database for the Alarm Cast server is FPServer.mdb.

Important:

If the previous CIMPLICITY Pager was installed, the corresponding FPAdmin.mdb database will be incompatible with Alarm Cast Administrator; however it can be converted

If you have not converted the database, when you start the Alarm Cast Administrator for the first time after you install Alarm Cast, a message will report that the database is incompatible; the Database Convertor must be run.

Example: Windows 7
