Getting Started

Before you get started, please ensure:

• Your practice meets the requirements for running the Precedence Connector. See Technical Requirements
  
• All Windows updates have been completed and up to date, systems rebooted where required
• You have an unrestricted Windows account that allows you to install and configure the Precedence Connector on both the server and user workstations

Installation Checklist

A Bit of Background

The Precedence Connector integrates with Medtech32. It must be installed locally on all required computers.

Where more than one user requires the Precedence Connector, we recommend using Client-Server mode.

In Client-Server mode the Connector is first installed on the database server and adopts the role of the Precedence Server. All database and user settings are stored on the Precedence Server.

Any remaining user workstations or terminal profiles can then be installed and configured to Client mode.

Where only one user requires the Precedence Connector software, Standalone mode is recommended as the operation mode. Here, database and user settings will be stored locally.  

The import path can be configured at any stage. It is user specific and must be configured per Medtech32 user.
