    • Connect using SQL Server Authentication (provide SQL user name and password for login with SA permissions).

  6. Click <Test Connection>.

    • If the database was not in use, a message appears that indicates that the connection was successful.

    • If a previously used database exists, A message appears that a database was detected. In this case, you may continue using the database or re-install it as explained in the message.

    Notice

    If the "SQL Connection Test Results" message indicates that connecting to the SQL Server has failed, verify the following:

    • Host, port and login credentials are correct

    • The station is a member of a Windows domain (if not, either join the host to a domain and restart, or connect using SQL Server Authentication)

  7. Once the SQL connection has been successfully tested, you can continue.
