NIPO Fieldwork System Version 1.14

General

General configuration settings

The Identification section sets the network identification of the NIPO CATI / Web Master on the network. Take care changing these settings - any changes may prevent client applications from connecting to the service.

Master name

Sets the RPC name on the network by which the NIPO CATI / Web Master may be connected. Requires that the RPC Locator and RPC Name Service are running on the local machine.

NetBIOS name

Obsolete. Provided for backward compatibility only.

TCP/IP Port

Sets the TCP / IP Port at which to listen for incoming connections. This port is used when using the Pure TCP / IP communication protocol to connect the NIPO CATI / Web Manager applications, the NIPO CATI Client application and the NIPO ODIN Web Server (ODIN Demon).

Network logon

Specifies the user name, password and domain account by which the NIPO CATI / Web Master service may access file locations across the network. This is only required if the Location section accesses folders beyond its own local file locations. The NIPO CATI / Web Master signs in on the domain using this account.

Database logon

Sets database username and password to sign in on the database. The service is configured through an ODBC connection and is not specified here. The NIPO CATI / Web Master uses the same account as the NIPO FMS Server to connect to the database. This account requires INSERT, SELECT and UPDATE privileges on the NIPO Fieldwork System database.

Email validation level

For switch-mode type surveys using the NIPO Web Server only. When a NIPO CATI interviewer triggers an Email invitation to a phone respondent to continue the interview as a web interview, this sets the validation level of the Email address given by the respondent:

• None. The Email is not checked for any validity.
• Syntax. The Email address is checked for having a valid Email address syntax.
• Mail Server must exist. An online test is done to see if the address corresponds to an existing mail server. Includes the syntax check.
• Email address must exist. An online test is done to see if the Email address exists. Includes the mail syntax check and mail server check.

The last two settings require that network account used by the NIPO CATI / Web Master has Internet access.

Note:
Username and password values are stored in the local registry of the NIPO CATI / Web Master in unencrypted format. Ensure to restrict access to the server.
