This guide covers the installation and configuration of portier® Vision 4.x and 5.x with the FIREBIRD 4 database, which is included at no extra cost.
Installation steps:
Software installation: Use the provided setup.exe. For the latest version, contact our support team. During installation, select the options for portier® Vision and FIREBIRD.
Database preparation: An empty database named portiervision.gdb is created in the program directory. Move this file to the server that all users can access.
Server setup: FIREBIRD must also be installed on the server and running as a service.
Client configuration: 
Open the DBKonfigurator (DBKONFIGURATOR.EXE) in the program directory of the first client. Configure the server connection by entering the TCP/IP address or server name and the path to the database as seen from the server. Enter the username and password if required.
Distribute the INI file: Copy the configured INI file to all other client machines to complete the network installation.
Conclusion:
With these steps your network installation of portier® Vision is complete. You now benefit from centralised data storage and simplified access for all users.
