IRIS FasTrak Database

This section will be simplified in future versions of IRIS FasTrak. Currently, the following steps assume you have an empty FasTrak SQL database installed on your SQL server

Open FasTrak Server Setup, select the Database tab, and then click Configure ODBC.

This will open the 32-bit ODBC Administration window, which is required for use with IRIS FasTrak.

  1. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator window, select the System DSN.
  2. Create a new SQL Server ODBC.
  3. Click Next to progress through the configuration, ensuring you set the default database to the FasTrak SQL database. You should only modify the configuration settings if you know what you are doing.
  4. Once you reach the end of the configuration, select Test Data Source to test the ODBC data source.
  5. If the Test Results dialog shows Tests Completed Successfully, the ODBC data source can be connected to without any problems. Otherwise, go back and check your settings are correct.
  6. Click OK to close the ODBC windows.

Changing the port FasTrak Server runs on

You can change the port that FasTrak Server runs on by changing the number in the Port field, underneath the ODBC.

Using SQL login credentials with your ODBC

[Not currently implemented as of IRIS FasTrak version 3.2.1.3]

Remember to select Apply to save your changes. If FasTrak Server is running, you'll need to restart it from the Control tab before any changes are applied.

Setting up a proxy connection

You only need to enter your proxy details if you're connecting to IRIS FasTrak through a proxy server.

Open FasTrak Server Setup, select the Database tab, and then enable Connect to internet via a proxy.

This will enable the proxy connection fields.

Address and port — Enter the IP Address and Port Number of your proxy server.

Username / Password — Enter the username and password (if required) to connect to your proxy server.

If you want to disable the proxy connection at any time, simply un-tick Connect to internet via a proxy.

Remember to select Apply to save your changes. If FasTrak Server is running, you'll need to restart it from the Control tab before any changes are applied.
