Installing and Configuring the Velocity Server

Wavelink recommends that the Velocity server be installed at a different location than the host server (that serves the web pages). Install the Velocity server in a location on your network where the devices can contact it and where it can connect to the desired hosts.

If you upgrade from a previous version of Velocity, the installer will implement all new features without resetting your current configuration.

To install the server:

1  Double-click the installation file to begin the installation.

2  A Welcome screen appears. Click Next.

3  The License Agreement screen appears. Click I Agree if you agree to the terms of the license.

4  The Choose Install Location screen appears. Click Browse to browse to the directory where you want to install, or click Install to use the default location.

5  The server is installed and begins running as a service. When the Completing the Setup screen appears, if desired, enable the Show Readme check box to view it and click Finish. The Readme has information about server command line options and logging.

Generally speaking, the Velocity server default settings will provide the best working environment. However, you can configure encryption, client and session timeout settings, and logging settings through a file named velocity.cfg. This file can be accessed by clicking Start > All Programs > Wavelink Velocity Server > Configuration.

Details on these settings and how to change them are included in the configuration file. To change settings for the server, open the configuration file and follow the instructions included in the file. Save your changes and restart the server (Wavelink Velocity Server in the list of Windows Services).

Wavelink recommends not changing the server logging settings unless directed by Customer Service. Changing the server logging setting to EVERYTHING may severely impact server performance.
