Neutron Controller Setup in Visual Doors

Neutron Controller Setup in Visual Doors

1.0 Software Installation Notes

When performing the Doors.NET installation, you should select the Full Installation (this installs all software components for a standard installation onto the PC, including the Neutron gateway). Alternatively, if you require additional application or gateways you can choose to perform a custom install (and then ensure the Neutron gateway service is selected along with the Application Server and the admin client).
