2.1 Overview of the Installation Process

Here is a brief summary of the main stages of theinstallation:

1. A computer is selected to act as a server for TypingMasterPro. This computer will host all the user information. Usuallythis computer is school file server.

2. TypingMaster is installed through teacher's computer toserver (or directly on the server).

3. The Licenses are entered to TypingMaster Pro and commonsettings to all workstations are set.

4. The installation is completed on all the workstationsconnected to the server. (optional)

2.2 Server Installation

2.2.1 Preparations

To start the installation for TypingMaster Pro, you must havethe setup package for TypingMaster Pro. This package is availableas a download from our web site www.typingmaster.com.Please consult the TypingMasterPro User Manual for detailed instructions on how to downloadthe setup package. If you have purchased the program as a CDshipment, the CD contains the setup package and no downloading isneeded.

Before you start installing TypingMaster Pro on the network,you have to make sure that:

• A shared folder for the installation of TypingMaster Pro is available on the computer that acts as a server (usually the school file server). All the workstations must have access to this folder. The folder can be e.g. serverprogramstmpro.
  
• The person performing the installation has full rights to the shared folder. If you are not sure whether you have the necessary rights, consult the network administrator of your organization for more details.

2.2.2 Installing TypingMaster Pro on yourServer

In this chapter we will go through the installation ofTypingMaster. The installation is quite straightforward andadheres to the usual procedures common to all installations ofWindows programs.

NOTE: We recommend that you install TypingMasterPro on your file server from the teacher's computer. This way theinstallation utility copies the program to the file server whilecreating the shortcuts to TypingMaster Pro and TypingMasterManager on the teacher's computer where the actual course anduser administration is done.

Summary:

After reading the license agreement and agreeing to it, selectthe directory where the program is to be installed. Then selectNetwork setup and all the components to ensure that all thenecessary network tools are installed. After selecting the foldername that will appear in the Start menu, the settings arereviewed and the program files are copied to the selecteddirectory.

NOTE: The server installation of TypingMaster Prois supported on Windows NT/2000/2003/XP, Citrix and Netwareoperating systems.

The server installation is NOT supportedon Windows 9x/Me operating systems, because of their limitednetwork capabilites and lack of file security. The server sidemust be on a real file server.

However, you can launch the installation from ateacher/administrator computer with Windows 9x/Me if the programitself is installed on a file server in the network.

Details:

To begin the server installation on the teacher's computer:

1. Start the TypingMaster Pro Setup program by double clicking on the file TMSetup.exe (or similar).
   
2. If previous TypingMaster 2001/2002 version is already installed on your server, you should install to same folder in order to keep the student data.
   
3. Click on 'Next' and read the License Agreement. Click the 'Yes' button to accept the terms of the agreement.
   
4. Choose the destination directory for the installation. This is the directory TypingMaster Pro will be installed to.
   The default folder 'C:Program FilesTypingMaster' is not usually used with the network installation.
   Select a a shared folder either on the teacher/administrator computer or network file server for the server installation of TypingMaster. To do that, click on 'Browse' and choose the appropriate folder.
   

   
   In the 'Choose Directory' window, select the drive you want to install TypingMaster Pro on from the 'Drives:' pulldown menu. Then select a folder from 'Directories:' by double clicking on the folder. Then enter a name for the folder you want to install TypingMaster Pro on in the 'Path:' area (e.g. TMPro, shown above).
   A window opens asking if you want to create this directory. Select 'Yes'. Now you will see the folder you created in the 'Destination Directory' area. Select 'Next' to proceed.
   

   NOTE: You can also install TypingMaster to a remote file server in your organization's network. In this case, you can run the installation from the teacher/administrator computer and enter a UNC network path for the server in the 'Choose Directory' The UNC path is in format SERVERNAMEFOLDER, for example FILESERVERAPPSTMPro. You can also select 'Browse' and choose the folder from your network file server. click 'Next' to proceed.

   
   

5. Now you can select the type of setup for TypingMaster Pro.
   Select the 'Network' installation and press 'Next'. You can view and choose the components that you want to install on your system.
   To make sure that all the network tools are installed, check the boxes 'TypingMaster Typing Tutor' and 'TypingMaster Manager and Network Tools'. If you want users to have access to TypingMaster ProTrainer, also check the 'ProTrainer technology' box. Press 'Next' after your selections.
   

   NOTE: TypingMaster Pro supports the ProTrainer optionally in a networked environment, usually this additional tool is not required by schools. Please note that ProTrainer in itself does not fulfill high-security requirements. Although these requirements can be achieved with the appropriate Windows NT/2000/2003/XP file security permissions, ProTrainer is not recommended in environments where security is of utmost importance. Please read the security statement for ProTrainer on our web pages. Detailed information on ProTrainer can be found in the TypingMaster Pro User Manual.

   
   

6. Setup will now add the TypingMaster Pro program folder to the Start menu. If you are satisfied with the name of the Program Folder just click 'Next' twice and the program files will be copied to the folder you specified.
   If you want to change the name of the Start menu folder, simply type in a new name after the 'Program Folders:' prompt.
   

You have now completed the server installation of TypingMasterPro. It is recommended that you give the program a trial run tomake sure everything is working properly. Just click on 'Start> Programs > TypingMaster > TypingMaster Pro' to startthe program.

2.2.3 Setting the Installation FolderSecurity Properties

If you have not already set the TypingMaster Pro folder (orthe parent folder) as shared you must do it now before installingTypingMaster to workstations.

NOTE: Windows NT/2000/2003/XP Servers require you to setboth Sharing Permissions and File Security Permissions: Whenyou create a new shared folder, the Everyone group isautomatically assigned only the Read permission, which is themost restrictive and always applies. When the share permission isset to Everyone = Read and the Security File Permissions wouldallow students to make required changes to DATABASE sub folder,the share permission applies, and the user is not allowed tochange their data. This common configuration problem preventsusers accessing TypingMaster (error #1551 Access Denied isshown).

Follow these steps to complete basic installation:

1. From the Server: Browse to the installation folder on theserver and right click on the folder icon and choose Properties.

2. Select the Sharing Tab: Select 'Share ThisFolder' and choose a short and easy to remember name forsharing (e.g. TYPINGMASTER).

3. In the Sharing Tab: click the 'Permissions'button. Confirm that the 'Everyone' group has'Full Control' permissions. (Note, this selection isrequired!)

4. Choose the Security Tab to adjust File SecurityPermissions:

How To Disable Backspace In Typing Master Windows 10

If you trust your students or employees, you can set the wholeTypingMaster Pro folder and all subfolders to be shared with FullControl (read/write) permissions.

If you wish to prevent students or employees from tamperingwith your TypingMaster Pro program files and/or typing texts, youmust set the following File Permissions for yourstudents/employees: (The examples apply to WindowsNT/2000/2003/XP, other operating systems may slightly differ.)

• Sharing permissions: change
  
• Security (file) permissions:
  TypingMaster folder: read
  TypingMasterdatabase: change
  TypingMastertexts: read (if you want to give your students/employees the option to alter and change typing test texts set the value to change)

2.2.4 Inserting Licenses

Before installing TypingMaster Pro to the workstations thelicenses that you have purchased need to be inserted. You alsohave to specify those settings that apply to all workstationinstallations.

To insert licenses to your server:

1. Go to 'Start > Programs > TypingMaster > TypingMaster Manager'
   
2. Select the Licenses tab and click on View/Add Licenses (see below).
   
3. Enter your License ID and Product Key (found in the setup package or CD cover) in the appropriate fields in the License window that opens.

Now the licenses are installed on your server. The Licensesmenu will show information on your newly inserted license.

2.2.5 Configuring the Installation Settings

To configure the settings common to all workstationinstallations of TypingMaster Pro:

1. Start the TypingMaster Manager and select 'File > Common Settings…'
   
2. A menu will appear with settings that affect users and workstation installation.
   In this menu you can configure the basic policy for users and the workstation installations. Scroll down the menu to Installation Settings if you want to change the installation directory (default c:typingmaster.) or install ProTrainer. To find out more about the Common Settings and how they affect user settings, go to chapter 4.2.
   
3. After changing the settings, click on 'Ok'.
   
4. Close TypingMaster Manager.

Now you have completed the preparations for workstationinstallations.

2.2.6 Installing TypingMaster on TerminalServer/Citrix

The installation into Terminal Server is quite straightforwardand adheres to the usual procedures common to all installationsof Windows programs. TypingMaster automatically detects theTerminal services and works in optimized mode. The amount ofscreen colors should be drop to 256 for the optimized speed. Theinstallation with Concurrent licenses is recommended since itmakes the terminals to reserve licenses in the most flexible way.

To complete installation on Terminal Server, complete steps2.2.1-2.2.5 on the server and after this, just make a shortcutpointing into TypingMaster.exe available to all terminal serverusers (see 2.3.3).

To complete installation on cluster of terminal servers,complete steps 2.2.1-2.2.5 on the main server and after this,complete netsetup on rest of the servers in order to savebandwidth. Now all clients can still access the software easilyand database is located on main server. Finally you need to makea shortcut pointing into TypingMaster.exe available to allterminal server users (2.3.3).

2.3 Workstation Installation

2.3.1 Overview

There are two ways of installing TypingMaster Pro to a remoteworkstation.

Using Netsetup:

You can install TypingMaster to a workstation using theNetsetup program included that installs the TypingMasterexecutables to the workstation. This program will access the userinformation on the server (or teacher's computer). This method isrecommended if network is slow (it does not overload the networkor the server). It also gives the administrator more control indefining the workstations that can have TypingMaster Pro on them.Its also possible later to Upgrade Workstations automatically (see section 4.1.4)

Using a Shortcut:

If you have fast network (or limited hard drive space on yourworkstations), you can also run the application directly from theserver. However, this method has some disadvantages.

First of all, the load on the server and the network will besubstantial, especially when many people are using the program atthe same time. To be able to use the program installed by using ashortcut, you will need a powerful server with a fast hard diskand a very fast network (100MB recommended).

Second, there is no way of controlling which workstations areallowed to use TypingMaster unless it is set in the sharingpermissions of the network. Once a program is launched from aworkstation one license is used. This makes the maintenance oflicenses quite difficult.

However this form of install does have the advantage of notrequiring to install on to each computer, this allows updates toeasily be added. Also this is type of install is recommend forschools and companies using concurrent licenses across manymachines. This limits the amount of installations needed.

2.3.2 Installation with Netsetup

Summary:

In this method of installation, the program Netsetup.exe fromthe server's TypingMaster directory is run on each workstation.Netsetup will automatically install TypingMaster in the folderset in the server's 'Common Settings' and creates the shortcut toStart Menu / Programs.

Details:

To install TypingMaster Pro on your workstation using theNetsetup program manually (or alternatively use your SMS networkmanagement software to perform remote installation):

1. Go (physically) to the workstation where you want to install TypingMaster Pro.
   
2. Go to 'Start > Run...' and execute the file 'serverprogramstmpronetsetup.exe' (or equivalent).
   TypingMaster is now installed on your workstation to the directory you specified in 'Common Settings' (Default setting is C:TypingMaster). If you do not know the path to the file netsetup.exe on your server, follow these instructions to run Netsetup:

1. Double-click on the 'Network Neighborhood' icon in the desktop.
   
2. From the list of computers connected to your network, find the name of the server and double-click it.
   
3. Double-click on the TypingMaster Pro installation folder on the server.
   
4. Find the file 'netsetup.exe' and double-click it. This will install TypingMaster on the workstation in the directory you specified in the Common Settings of TypingMaster Manager.

TypingMaster Pro is now installed on the workstation and it isready for use. To install TypingMaster Pro to other computers,just repeat the steps above on each workstation.

2.3.3 Installation Using a Shortcut

Summary:

This chapter will demonstrate how to install TypingMaster Proon workstations so that the program is run directly from theserver. To do this you have to create a shortcut in theworkstation that will point to the TypingMaster Pro program file(TypingMaster.exe) on the server.

Details:

If you do not know how to create a shortcut from your server,follow these instructions:

1. Go (physically) to the workstation where you want to install TypingMaster Pro.
   
2. Double click on the 'Network Neighborhood' icon in the desktop.
   
3. From the list of computers connected to your network find the name of the server and double-click it.
   
4. Double click on the TypingMaster Pro folder in the server.
   
5. Find the file named 'TypingMaster.exe'. This is the file that is executed when TypingMaster Pro is started. Select this file.
   
6. Drag the file to the desktop.
   
7. A new icon named 'Shortcut to TypingMaster' is created on the desktop. This is a shortcut to the file on the server.
   
8. If you want you can change the name of the shortcut, select the shortcut and press 'F2'. Type in a new name (e.g. TypingMaster Pro) and press 'Enter'.

Now you have created a shortcut from the workstation toTypingMaster Pro on the server. Each time this new icon isdouble-clicked the program on the server will start.

To create shortcuts on other workstations just repeat thesteps above on each workstation.

3. Uninstallation

This chapter covers the uninstallation of TypingMaster Profrom workstations and the server. Unistallation procedure variesdepending on how it was originally installed.

4.3.1 Real Time User Monitoring

How To Disable Backspace In Typing Mastery

TypingMaster Pro supports real time monitoring of students.The teacher is able to monitor the students' progress while theyare studying on their workstations. When the student is studying,a lock will appear on top of the student icon in the studentlist.

When a student is locked, the teacher will not be able tochange user properties or delete the user. The teacher can view astudent's progress by selecting a report to be viewed. Allexercises and tests that the user has completed will be displayedin the reports.

4.3.2 Importing and Exporting users from/toCSV file

You can create new users for TypingMaster Pro User Managerfrom an existing list Information such as name, group andpassword can be taken from any .csv file (i.e. comma separateduser list file), usually an Excel or database file. It ispossible also to transfer names and general status of users toComma Separated File (CSV).

To do this, start TypingMaster Manager and select File >Import Users. This will bring up a new window.

Import only accepts CSV files so you need have saved thesource file in CSV format. To convert an Excel file to a CSV filesave the file, simply choose 'File > Save As' and select 'CSV(comma delimited)' from the 'Save as Type' drop-down menu. Notethat you should delete all heading and title information such asFirst name, Last name, Class etc., from the source file beforeimporting information to TypingMaster Pro. Otherwise you willhave users like 'Last name, First name' in theTypingMaster User Manager and need to remove those afterwards.

Once Import screen is open, the screen is divided in two. Thetop half, or section 1, is dedicated to choosing the source filefrom which you want to import user information. Click on 'OpenData Source', browse and select the file you want to import andclick on 'Open'. TM Import now shows the contents of the file youchose on the top-right-hand side of the screen as well as in thepreview window below it. If you have chosen a wrong file, you caneasily change your selection by clicking on 'Open Data Source'and choosing a different file.

The bottom half of the screen, or Section 2, is dedicated tomodifying column information and completing the process. Firsthave a look at the Preview window on the right and check thatcolumn headings are correct.

The default column headings in the preview window are 'Firstname', 'Last name', 'Class/Group' and 'Password'. If your sourcefile has listed data in a different order or has more columns,you can now change the column headings accordingly. To changecolumn headings, use the drop-down menus on the left-hand side.They are numbered from 1 to 6 referring to the respective columnsin the Preview window and show the heading options from which youcan choose. Select the ones that match your table and use 'n/a'if you do not want to import the information from some column(s).

Below the drop-down menus there is a box 'Create theGroup/Class if missing', which is checked by default. Whenchecked, the User Manager creates new groups by using the groupnames you have in the .csv file and places imported usersautomatically under these groups. If some users do not have groupinformation, the User Manager places them under the default groupset in the User Manager. If you uncheck the box, the softwaretries to assign users to existing groups, but does not create newgroups. For example, if in the source file you have some groupnames and in the User Manager groups with the same name, thesoftware take the users from those groups and place in thematching group in the User Manager. All others users from your.csv file will be entered into the default group in the UserManager. You can then group the imported users manuallyafterwards with the Manager. Admittedly, the tool is a bitconfusing if you uncheck the 'Create the Group/Class if missing'.We'll work on it to make it clearer.

Once everything is set to your satisfaction, click on 'ImportNow'. The tool will now enter user information from the .csv fileto TypingMaster User List.

Supported CSV Data Formats
This utility supports two most common industrial CSV formats,semi-colon and comma separated ones.
1. Semi-colon format (without quotes)
Example data:
user name;group;something;something
2. Comma separated list with quotes
Example data:
'user name','schoolgroup','anything','something'
The very first line of CSV file is used to detect if semi-colonor comma should be used as a separator mark.
For example all the following data formats could be used:
'john smith','class1','mypassword','+1 322 1239'
'john','smith','class 1','+1322 1239','mypassword','teacher name'
'smith','john','+1 3221239','mypassword','teachername','class 1'
john;smith
john smith;group one

4.3.3 Multiple TypingMaster Installations

It is possible to use the same TypingMaster Manager on theteacher's computer to control multiple versions of TypingMasterPro. This is helpful if you have TypingMaster installed on morethan one server.

To control the database of a different installation ofTypingMaster you will have to perform the following procedure:

1. Start TypingMaster Manager
   
2. Select File > Change Directory

Different Exercise Types

1. New Key drills
   The key drills are designed to teach new keys. They are combinations of four keys that can be automatically be repeated by TypingMaster if Loop setting is selected. Note that the program does not gather statistics from key drill exercises.
   
2. Word drills
   Word drills consist of rows of words using the letters that have already been learned. Depending on the language version you are using, the appearance of word exercises may vary somewhat. However, the basic idea is the same, i.e. rows of either one or two words, for example:
   - hello hello hello hello hello hello hello; or
   - horse horse horse monkey monkey monkey; or
   - flower plant flower plant flower plant
   
3. Sentence drills
   There are two types of sentence drills in TypingMaster.
   1) Short sentence is repeated two or three times in a row, for example:
   this is jill this is jill this is jill
   2) One sentence that fills the whole row, for example:
   Jill is English and comes from a town called Kettering.
   Type 1 drill is often used in early lessons where repetition is important. Type 2 drills that are used in most lessons are more fun for the user to complete. Sentence drills can be used without punctuation marks and capital letters if they have not yet been studied.
   
4. Paragraph drills
   Paragraph drills can only be used after capital letters and full stop have been studied. The drill consists of several paragraphs that can be of different theme each or carry the same story line throughout the exercise. Sentences can flow freely from one row to another just like in any text.
