DSN configuration (Data Source Name)

DSN configuration is performed by using ODBC Data Source Administrator (Control panel - Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC)). When creating a new DSN, it is necessary to select D2000 V7.00 Real-Time Driver from the list of drivers.

Data source name (DSN)

Name for the data access.

Server name

Authentication

Choice of authentication method for verification of user's identity.
The following methods are available:
