Part 1: Install Pathagoras.
If you have not already done so, install Pathagoras on each computer you intend to make part of the network.
Part 2: Activate the Network
| 1. | In the '' screen click the 'Networking Setup' tab. (Figure 1, below). |
Figure 1. Network Setup
| 2. | Click <Enable Network> (bottom of page toward the right). |
| 3. | When prompted, type into the popup screen the unlock code that you have been provided. Your unlock code was sent to you by separate correspondence. If you do not have it, write us and we will generate another code and send it to you. |
Part 2: Establish a Common Profiles Path
Each computer on the Pathagoras network must be pointed to a singular path through which information can be shared. It is called the "Common Profiles Path (CPP)." It is set using the same screen you used above to enable the network, but new options display after the network has been activated:
Figure 2. Network Setup Screen (after activation)
| 1. | If you have already created a location for your Common Profiles Path, you can hand type its location in the white text box. When you are done, click the 'save' disk that appears when you begin typing. Skip to step 4 below. Alternatively, you can click the <Set CPP> button immediately beneath the text box. Follow the instructions in steps 2 & 3 below. |
| 2. | If you have not hand-typed the CPP address, click the <Set CPP> button. Following the prompts, navigate to the folder that you want to be your Common Profiles Path (CPP). If you have not previously created a folder to serve as the CPP, you can create one 'on the fly' as you are navigating to your ultimate destination. |
 Notes on the Common Profiles Path:
The CPP can be anywhere, but there can be only one CPP on the network for the networking features to work properly for your entire system. Therefore, the CPP should be on your network file server or other location readily accessible to all users.
We suggest creating and using a folder called "PathagorasCPP”, but any name is acceptable.
Do not ‘overthink’ what the CPP is or does. The CPP is nothing more than a folder to which the other computers on your network will refer for information, data, messaging, etc.
|
| 3. | When you have navigated to the desired folder, click OK. |
| 4. | When the CPP has been selected, click the <Register> button that appears just beneath the CPP path. This creates a subfolder within the CPP unique to the specific computer on which you are operating. Messages regarding Pathagoras (e.g., program upgrades -- see below -- or modifications to profiles and libraries) are sent and received through this subfolder. |
| 5. | We suggest that you write down on a piece of paper the full path to the CPP folder. This will be for the benefit of those (including yourself) who will need to point to it for the other computers. |
Repeat the above steps for each computer on the network for which you have purchased a license. Of course, instead of creating a Common Profiles Path for the second and subsequent installations, you will simply navigate to the CPP. Hence, the piece of paper suggested in step 5 above.
