MAWi platform consists of a single ‘MAWi Server’ installation, that can control multiple ‘MAWi Agent’ instances.
Select the MAWi Agent component and also select the option ‘Install additional drivers for MAWi Zero’. That option will install additional drivers that are necessary for the basic operation of the USB Video dongles.
In case you didn’t tick the box during the installation process, you can also download the OSBASE drivers from this link.
You can name the location in the installation process or do it later in the settings of the MAWi Agent. If you leave it blank, the location will be named as ‘Untitled’.
MAWi Server runs an IIS Web application and a database that is running with MS SQL Server.
When selecting to install MAWi Server, it will check if the MS SQL Server is installed on the machine.
If it’s not, it will automatically download and install SQL Server 2014 Express instance on your machine.
