Camtasia Relay Tutorial:

Add a Server to the Team

In Camtasia Relay, you can team servers together to add power and flexibility to Camtasia Relay. Teaming servers means that they all accept presentations based on load and other variables. Once teamed, you work with the teamed servers as if they are one server. They all run from a single database, so all information is available on each of the teamed servers.

On any of the servers, go to System > Servers to view all teamed servers status and job counts.

After you install the first Camtasia Relay server and database, to add another server to the team use the following process:

1. If using a network firewall, open TCP port 1433 and UDP port 1434 to connect to the database.  If using a host-based firewall such as Windows firewall then add exceptions for the SQL Server and SQL Browser executables.
2. Designate a Windows 2003 or 2008 server to team to an existing Camtasia Relay installation.
3. Double-click the Camtasia Relay server installer.
   
4. When you get to the Select Setup Type page of the wizard, select Advanced setup and click Next.
   
5. On the Select Advanced Installation Type page, select Add this server to an existing Camtasia Relay team, and click Next.
6. Install prerequisites and click Next.
7. On the SQL Server Connection page, enter or browse to the SQL instance name in use for Camtasia Relay.  Enter the “Relay“ user password and click Next.
8. Complete the wizard and click Install.
9. When installation is complete, the website opens in a web browser. Log in as an administrator and follow the steps presented to complete Server Configuration.
