Welcome to WebBase Using Microsoft Terminal Services
or Citrix Products

Welcome to DMAC's demonstration for WebBase by DMAC. Keyers or supervisors using WebBase use a browser to access Unibase by DMAC and Unibase Imaging (release 8.2 or later) through a Windows Server 2003 (Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter Edition) at your site. In addition, keyers or supervisors at your site seamlessly can access the same batches, images, etc. (persistent files) at the same time as the web based keyers.

For this demo, WebBase uses Microsoft middleware products. By being based upon Microsoft's Terminal Services, WebBase, gives users the speed, security, and convenience they have come to expect. DMAC modified Unibase by DMAC and Unibase Imaging to work with the Microsoft products and within the Microsoft philosophy for desktop computing. Microsoft and Citrix have cross licensed so DMAC believes its products work with Citrix also.

A keyer's login is setup for the demonstration using Internet Explorer with ActiveX enabled. For entry as a keyer would enter, the user name, webbase2, is completed for you. You must enter the password - user2. The keyer enters the assigned batch of work on the queue immediately. For more information on keying, see To Key From Image below.

Remember, this is Microsoft middleware. It works; it is secure; it is fast. But that means this demonstration only works on a client workstation with Microsoft's Internet Explorer or with a browser which supports ActiveX as does Internet Explorer. In addition, the client portion of Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) must be present and port 3389 which is used by Microsoft for its RDP must be open for traffic. Only when this port is open will Microsoft's Terminal Services work (for details see:TCP port 3389,article 187628). Some firewalls are set to block this port. If you are behind a firewall which is blocking this port, you may get an error message like the following: "The specified remote computer could not be found. Verify that you have typed the correct computer name or IP address, and then try connection again." Reset your firewall to allow traffic on this port.

For Microsoft operating systems XP and newer, the client portion of RDP is installed during the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 installation process. If you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000 client computers to connect to the WebBase computer, you may not have RDP connection software installed. If you have not previously installed the RDP connection software, then download and install the RDP Connection Software from the following Microsoft Web site: Microsoft Pre-XP Remote Desktop Protocol software.

(News Brief: Wednesday, March 26, 2008: The DMAC WebBase site demo is again functioning. DMAC flood damage has now been corrected. We are still testing whether Vista users have problems using this demo. )

We at DMAC wish to hear your comments. Please take a minute and send us your comments on the demonstration above. This will help DMAC do a better job of meeting its clients' needs.

TO KEY FROM IMAGE (user:webbase2 password:user2):

1.

As you key the data in the form on the bottom, the field snippet in the top window will automatically advance as you progress from field to field. 

While keying, do not use the shift key. Jobs are almost always set up so that all alpha data is entered in upper case. This saves keystrokes and lower case letters can be included in output as required.

The same principal applies to decimals. Do not enter decimal points when keying the hourly rate. Decimals can be added in output. 
 

2.

To terminate the batch, press the Esc key at any time.
