Requirements: TraCS Installation files, field unit configuration files.

Follow the instructions linked below to install TraCS on your IIS Server (Master Computer) so you can setup your files for your new network share. Please note that if your SQL server is still intact, you won’t need to do the final step in Task 1.2(c).
