Zetta Client Installation

Once the Zetta® Database has successfully been installed, install the Zetta client software. The Client Installation package includes the Zetta2GO® and the RCS Database Management software. The Zetta2GO software does not need to run on the Database server to function, however, this application does require a computer or server with IIS. The IIS component will be installed with the installation package if it is not previously installed on the computer.

To install the Zetta client software on a new computer, follow these steps:
  1. Launch the Zetta Installation Package obtained from RCS Support. For Upgrades to Zetta use the RCS Updater that was originally installed with Zetta to update multiple computers on the same network. Locate the RCS Updater application is the RCS applications group of Windows.
  2. Depending on the security settings of the system, the first screen may be a Security Warning.
  3. The Welcome screen is the first installer window displayed. Click Next
  4. Enter the Zetta install password obtained from RCS Support.
  5. Click Next
  6. Accept the default folder location for the installation. Click Next
  7. Select the Options to Install. Zetta Client and Zetta LocalDB are selected by default. The Emergency On-Air Backup feature uses the Zetta LocalDB option. The Zetta LocalDB is not needed on the SQL Server computer.
  8. Select GSelector Integration Prerequisites, if this Computer will be responsible for running the GSelector Integration Services.
  9. Select Zetta2GO to install the web service to allow external devices, such as a Laptop, iPhone, iPad or Android device to connect to the database from a web browser. Zetta2GO and the RCS Database Manager are required for the Site Replication.
  10. Select the RCS Database Manager to install the RCS Database Management System. This software allows Zetta to Switch from a Primary Database to a Secondary Database and is used in conjunction with SQL database mirroring or another third party replication service. This option must be installed on at least one computer for Zetta to communicate with the Primary database. This option is not needed for the Emergency On-Air Backup feature which uses the Zetta LocalDB option. Zetta2GO and the RCS Database Manager are required for the Site Replication.
  11. Click Next
  12. Select from the options for starting the Startup Manager when the user logs into Windows.

Important Note!

When the Startup Manager is set to start automatically, any audio scheduled to play by the sequencer for the machine will start to play. In other words the Zetta UI is not required to play audio from a scheduled log when in Auto mode. An Automatic start is recommended for those computers responsible for running the Station sequencer.
  1. Click Next
  2. The Zetta installer will optionally create the SSL Zetta2GO Certificate when the Zetta2GO option is selected for install. Type in the two letter Country abbreviation into the Country field.
  3. Type in the state into the State field. International customers that do not have a State can enter anything into this field.
  4. Type in the city or location of the computer into the Locality field.
  5. Optionally, select Don't create SSL Zetta2GO Certificate if an SSL certificate already exists or if the site uses another certificate type such as Verisign certificates. During upgrades if a Zetta2GO certificate is already configured, the user will be given the option to Use the Existing Certificate or Create a new Certificate.
  6. Click Next
  7. Accept the default location for the program shortcut. Click Next
  8. Choose whether to have a Desktop Shortcut. If upgrading this can be deselected to preserve any command line options for auto login.
  9. Click Next
  10. A summary is provided of the installation selections. Click Install to begin copying files.
  11. If this is a new installation, during the installation process, the .Net framework is installed if not previously installed. If .NET Framework is installed, skip to step 27
  12. .NET framework may require a reboot to finish the installation, click OK
  13. Restart the computer.
  14. When the computer boots back up, log in as the same user and the installation will restart. (Return to step 1)
  15. Choose the SQL Server Instance that was created during the Zetta Database Installation
  16. Click Next
  17. If this is a Client Only install, the user will need to enter the IP address or Computer Name of the Primary DB Manager. This allows the client to connect to the Zetta database. If upgrading a client only computer the user will be prompted to confirm the current Primary DB or enter a new IP or Computer name.
  18. Click Next
  19. Enter the IP or Computer Name of the Primary DB Manager server.
  20. Click Next
  21. Click Finish to launch Zetta.
  22. Next see the Zetta Updates section to update the database and then proceed to the Logging into Zetta for the first time section.

Post Installation Reboot

There are times a computer reboot will be required at the end of the installation process. In such cases a prompt will alert the user and allow the user to initiate the process.

The user will be given a choice to reboot the computer now or later. RCS recommends selecting the option to reboot now. After selecting the radio button for the option desired, click the Finish button.

Important Note!

If the option to reboot later is selected, make sure a reboot is done before running Zetta. The program will not operate correctly until the computer is restarted.
