Configure Excel-Link Server Connection

This manual is in pilot operation.

If [Excel-Link] was automatically registered as an add-in, the server connection for [Excel-Link] is also configured simultaneously, making the following steps unnecessary.

Set the URL of the server to connect to from [Excel-Link]. The URL is the same as what is displayed in the Options  Server URL option from the [Browser] menu, and is as follows:

http://(host):(port)/fusionplace

(host) is the hostname of the server to connect to, and (port) is the port number.

Hostname:
If fusion_place is used as a standalone application, the hostname is localhost.
If used in a web server-based environment, specify the server’s fixed IP address or hostname.

Port Number:
The port number specified during the fusion_place installation. If the default value proposed by the installer was accepted, it is 50000.

(Example 1) If used as a standalone application with port number 50000, the URL is:

http://localhost:50000/fusionplace

(Example 2) If used in a web server-based environment with server IP address 192.168.0.2 and port number 50000, the URL is:

http://192.168.0.2:50000/fusionplace

(Example 3) If used in a web server-based environment with server hostname fusionplace.mycompany.com and port number 50000, the URL is:

http://fusionplace.mycompany.com:50000/fusionplace

Once the server URL is configured, it is saved and will be retained the next time [Excel-Link] is launched.*

Follow these steps to configure the settings (ensure that [Excel-Link] has already been registered as an add-in):

  1. Click the Connection button on the fusions ribbon in Excel.

    The "Connection Settings" dialog will appear.

  2. Enter the URL in the dialog and click the Save button.
