Modules
|
MegaTrack consists of three fundamental modules:
- The MegaTrack Print Server (MPS) tracks all printed jobs and sends this information to the database. It must always be installed on a Windows print server.
- The MegaTrack Database Server (MDS) manages the database where the information collected by the MPS is stored.
- The MegaTrack Web Server (MWS) manages the MegaTrack Web site, which is used as interface by the application .
