  • Remote Access: To help support and configure your NorthScope instance the NLP team must have remote connectivity to your server. This should be supported with reliable VPN access to the network and remote access into the NorthScope Server. Additionally, port 1433 for SQL Server should be open on the firewall to support direct SQL access when needed. If several people will be using Remote Access to your NorthScope server, enough remote desktop licenses should be purchased to support the number of expected simultaneous connections.

  • SQL Server: NorthScope requires Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition 2019 or newer and the SQL Server Management Studio tools need to be installed on the server for use during remote access. The default collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS should be used for this server. Additionally, make sure the database compatibility level is set to 130 or higher if the database was created on an older version of SQL Server.

  • SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS): The version of SSRS that corresponds to the SQL Server version should be installed so users can run and view reports in NorthScope. SSRS can be installed on a separate server from the SQL Server if desired. SQL Server Data Tools should be installed on the NorthScope server to make sure NLP staff can make report changes if requested.

  • Internet Information Services (IIS): IIS, including the ASP.net features, is required to run the NorthScope website.

  • Security: NLP must be provided a username and password with System Administrator rights for the SQL Server, Report Server and the Windows Server.

  • Network Printers: If you want to configure direct printing from NorthScope (the ability for someone in one location to print to a printer in another location) you will need to install the printers you want to use directly on the NorthScope server.

  • Microsoft Office: Office should be installed on the server if any users will be remoting directly into the server and exporting data to Excel or if they have the need to use other Office features while using remote access.

  • SMTP for email: NorthScope has the ability to send emails and users often also want to configure automatic report email subscriptions through SSRS. To accomplish this, access to an SMPT server will be needed. NLP also has an SMTP server that can be used for this purpose if one is not already setup.
