2 Before You Install
" Since Vantage Access comes with its own Apache HTTP server and MySQL
database server, it is recommended that you install Vantage Access on a new
Linux computer. If you plan to install Vantage Access on an existing Linux
computer, you must uninstall existing Apache and MySQL from that server;
otherwise they will conflict with Vantage Access.
Vantage Access consists of three packages: DB, BED and HTTPD. You can install them
separately on different computers or on the same one.
• DB: This is the embedded MySQL database server of Vantage Access.
• BED: BED comprises the protocol suite that is used to manage compatible devices, an Apache
server and a watchdog service.
• HTTPD: This is the download server HTTP Daemon used for files store and transfer. These files
include device firmware, configuration, log and Vantage Access system files.
