Installing Additional GlobalCapture Engine Instances on a Separate Machine

You can install GlobalCapture Engine instances on a separate server from where your GlobalCapture Server is installed.

  2. Under the <appSettings> section, edit the <add key="Mongo" value to be the value of the GlobalCapture Server. It should read something like this: <add key="Mongo" value="mongodb://SERVERNAME/?safe=true"></add>, with SERVERNAME being the name or ip of the primary globalcapture server

  3. Edit the keys for Square9API and Square9CaptureAPI to point back to the primary GlobalCapture Server. It should read something like this: <add key="Square9Api" value="http://SERVERNAME:PORT/Square9API"></add>
