Connecting to the NIPO CATI / Web Master

NIPO Fieldwork System Version 1.14

Connecting to the NIPO CATI / Web Master

The NIPO CATI / Web Manager is installed to connect to the NIPO CATI / Web Master using the service name specified during installation. There are two methods to connect the NIPO CATI / Web Manager to the NIPO CATI / Web Master:

Specify the connection details as startup parameters in the application shortcut
Specify the connection details at runtime

The startup parameters always override the connection details at runtime.

Note that if a connection fails, the NIPO CATI / Web Manager attempts to connect to the last service successfully connected.

Connection details as startup parameters

Connection details may be specified as startup parameters in the shortcut in the following format:

[installation folder]\Catimanu.exe / N [address] /P [protocol]

Available protocols
