This topic describes the configuration of the program D2000 OPCServer for both the server part and client part.
It is possible to manually install D2000 OPC Server within an existing D2000 installation or to install it using an external installer.
Manual installation
The D2000 OPC Server must first be registered in Windows as an OPC server. Registration is done from the command line. The D2000 OPC Server registers by default as Ipesoft.D2000.OPCSserver.opcserver.
This name can be modified (e.g. if it is necessary to register several D2000 OPC Servers in parallel on one communication server, each of which is connected to a different D2000 Server and can be of a different version). In this case, the opcserver.exe program must be copied under a different name (e.g. myprogram.exe) and such a renamed D2000 OPC Server will be registered under the name Ipesoft.D2000.OPCSserver.myprogram.
The procedure for manual installation is as follows:

An OPC client can support the following types of OPC servers: InProc, Local, Remote. If the OPC client is running on the same computer as the server, set the type Local. If it is running on a remote computer, set Remote and enter the name of the computer with running OPC server into the parameter Host (it depends on OPC client).
