Initial Configuration

First Time Launch

First time launch of BusMATE from a workstation will result in the prompting you to define the connection details for your database server. This configuration needs to be completed on each workstation, but should not need to be updated after software updates. Most users will be able to utilize the "automatic configuration" option below. You can skip the section about "manual configuration" if the "automatic configuration" was successful.

Enter your config key and click the "Download Config" button. If a matching key is found on the server, the config will immediately begin. If the key is not found on the server-then you've entered the key incorrectly OR your company does not have a config on file.

Once complete, you should receive the following dialog.
