Two NICs, Two Ascendis, One Computer...
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 3:47 pm
Hi, all. Hi, Bill. I have an older thinclient machine with two IDE flash chips in it. It has Windows XP on it, with the Enhanced Write Filter installed, so no writes are saved on the flash chip (hard drive) with Ascendis Caller ID installed on it. I have an older version of Ascendis installed on the second IDE flash chip. This chip does allow writes. This chip is the one where I run the Ascendis server.
Each chip/drive gets one modem, and controls one line. The main line in the house and its modem are plugged into the write-allowed chip, with the server, so that when calls come in, they are saved. If we lose power, no big deal, as the log stays put. At this point, I would like to add a server to my other line. Near as I can tell, this involves a few things:
1) Install a PCI NIC in the computer (piece of cake)
2) Tell Ascendis Number Two to use this NIC...how do I do that?
3) Can different versions of Ascendis co-exist on the same drive?
I think this should work, but I am not sure.
Any thoughts?
