Before you can access an Envinsa Drivetime service, you need to show MapInfo Pro where to find the Routing server it is housed on. This process gives MapInfo Pro all the information it needs to access the server. You need to enter this information only once per server. To set the routing server preferences, see Setting the Routing Server Preferences.
To add a Routing server:
-
On the PRO tab, click Options, and Web Services to open the Web Services Preferences dialog box.
-
On the Routing tab, click Servers to open the Routing Servers List dialog box.
-
Click Add to open the Routing Server Information dialog box.
-
Type the server URL, the server description, the default user name and password in the fields provided.
Select the Remember Password check box to remember the password when you enter the correct user name.
-
Review the default timeout values for the server you are adding. To change these entries, select the Override Default Values check box and enter new timeout values.
-
Click Test URL to ensure that the connection is available. The Routing Server Details dialog box opens.
If the URL is valid, the Countries list displays the server's available country data. Click Close to return to the Routing Server Information dialog box.
Note: If you select Test URL and no server connection is found, an error message displays.
-
Click OK to return to the Routing Servers List dialog box
Set the server that you will use the most as your default, by highlighting it in the list and clicking Set Default. A check mark displays beside the server to indicate it will open by default.
-
Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
MapInfo Pro supports server-side and proxy server authentication. If you use a proxy server for Internet access and your routing server also requires user/password authentication, you authenticate with the proxy server first. As a result, the Connection dialog box displays twice-once for the proxy server and once for the routing server.
