Tamale Configuration
|
|
|
The Tamale Software desktop client needs to locate the Tamale server to access all Tamale services. There are three different methods of enabling the client to locate and connect to the server. Please review the options and decide on a method.
- Manually configure the Tamale client with the Tamale server IP address.
This must be done for each desktop client and may need to be repeated each time the desktop client code is updated.
If you plan to install the client on the same machine from which you requested this page
you may use the address: 10.33.149.116*
- Register the Tamale server to the DNS. When an IP address is not specified, the Tamale client will scan for preset server names in a specific order. Register the Tamale server to the DNS using one of the names below. The names are listed in the order scanned.
- tamaleresearch, tamaleserver, tamalehome, tamale, and tamalelocal
- Install the Tamale server on the same subnet as the client. When an IP address is not specified and the scan for preset server names returns nothing, the Tamale client will scan the local network for the first Tamale server it finds. Installing the Tamale server on the same subnet as the desktop clients will ensure the network scan results in the proper connection between client and server.
*Your IP was detected to be: 10.33.149.6

Configuring Plug-in Applications
|
|
|
Tamale comes with several plug-ins that integrate with commonly used
applications such as Adobe® Acrobat® and Microsoft® Word, Excel, Internet
Explorer, and Windows® itself. To maximize productivity, please follow
these configuration instructions to ensure that each application opens
documents of its type in a separate window, instead of embedded within Internet
Explorer. These instructions, along with accompanying screenshots, are all
in the help file (F1 from within Tamale, or go to the HELP menu), in the "Get
Started" section.
Users who have limited-user status on their machine must request their system
administrator to perform the following tasks.
Adobe Acrobat
Note: The administrator should run the Acrobat
program by right-clicking on the shortcut, choosing "Run As...", and entering
the administrator's username and password in the bottom portion of the window.
Once the four checkboxes are unselected and the changes are saved, limited users
will often see the checkboxes selected and grayed out when they run Acrobat.
Regardless of what limited users see, as long as their administrator unselected
the checkboxes, then the changes were correctly made.
- From the main menu, go to EDIT --> PREFERENCES.
- In Acrobat 6.0, click on INTERNET in the left bar of the dialog. In
Acrobat 5.0, click on OPTIONS.
- Uncheck the top four checkboxes ("Display PDF in Browser", "Check Browser
Settings ...", "Allow Fast Web View", and "Allow Background Downloading").
Acrobat 6.0 only has these four boxes, while Acrobat 5.0 has other options that
should not be changed for Tamale.
- Press OK to exit the Preferences dialog.
- Microsoft Word and Excel
The administrator must log into the machine using the administrator account,
convert the limited user's account to administrative status, make the following
changes in the now-administrative account, and then revert the user back to
limited status.
- Open up any folder.
- From the main menu, go to TOOLS --> FOLDER OPTIONS…
- Click on the FILE TYPE tab of the dialogue.
- Search the list of registered file types for the DOC extension for Microsoft Word documents.
- Click on the ADVANCED button near the bottom of the dialogue.
- Uncheck the "Browse in same window" checkbox and click the OK button.
- Search the list of registered file types for the XLS extension for Microsoft Excel worksheets.
- Click on the ADVANCED button near the bottom of the dialogue.
- Uncheck the "Browse in same window" checkbox and click the OK button.
