CIP Reporting 'How to' Guide

This document will show you how to install the CIP Reporting Client software.

Note: While the images in this guide depict the installation process for Version 8, please rest assured that the installation procedure remains consistent and applies to current version installations.

The client installer will run in the background after executing it in silent mode. It will take several minutes for the client icon to appear on the desktop.

To execute the installer without a graphical interface, use the command-line argument "/S". Be aware that specifying the URL for the server via command line is not possible. To complete the process, follow these two steps:

1. Initiate the installer in headless/silent mode using '/S' as an argument, which defaults to "<http://localhost:4399".>
2. Modify the registry key to reflect the desired URL. 

Note: The URL key can be found at Computer\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\CIP Reporting\\Client

Individuals familiar with automation processes should find these instructions straightforward.

  • NOTE!!! If you leave http://localhost:4399 you will get a connection error as the CIP Client is trying to connect to your own workstation instead of the server, in this case please try reinstalling the CIP Client again, if it does not prompt you to change the Server URL then please reach out to our support team for assistance.
