NIPO Fieldwork System Version 1.14
Connecting to the NIPO FMS Server
Whenever you start the NIPO FMS Client, the program attempts to reconnect to the last NIPO FMS Server that was used during the previous session. You should only need to specify the NIPO FMS Server once, when you use NIPO FMS Client for the first time. Alternatively, you can select a NIPO FMS Server to connect to if you have an alternative NIPO FMS Server running.
You can force the NIPO FMS Client to connect to a specific server when you start the program by specifying the NIPO FMS Server name on the command line. For example C:\NIPO\FMS.exe server2 would launch the NIPO FMS Client and attempt to connect to the NIPO FMS Server on the computer server2. For details on using command line parameters, please refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation.
