The Collaborative Server is a Windows Service that must be running at all
times, and have constant, uninterrupted, bidirectional communication with clients
through firewalls and virus scanners.
To configure the Collaborative Server in individual or server mode,
specify the following parameters:
- The machine name (for example LOCALHOST or MyMachine),
or its IP address (for example 127.0.0.1,
or 192.168.255.255).
- The port number (by default 26666).
You can configure the Collaborative Server during the installation or
later in the command.
For client/server installations, to provide uninterrupted bidirectional
communication, make sure that port number 26666 is available and open on the machine
where the Collaborative Server is installed. If not, ask the system administrator to
find another port for SOLIDWORKS Electrical.
You
need to ensure that incoming connections are allowed on the server machine for
SOLIDWORKS Electrical port (26666).
