Tally Configuration

Step 1 - Gateway of Tally

Start from "Gateway of Tally" menu. Press F12

Step 2 - Configuration

The F12 key from "Gateway of Tally" will bring up the "Configuration" menu. Select "Advanced Configuration" or press "C"

Step 3 - Client/ Server Configuration

In the client/server configuration screen make the following modifications

		"tally is acting as" - select either "both" or "server"
		"Port" - The default port is "9000" but you can change it to any other port. Select a port number that is not being used by any other application. Please remember that changing the port here will require any Tally Clients to connect on this Port. So if you have other Tally clients accessing this server, you may prefer to leave this value unchanged.
		If your internet connection is through a proxy server, configure it here. Contact your administrator to get the correct information

Sample Configuration

Here is what a sample configuraton (minimal) may look like. You can choose to enable logging and proxy connections, if required.

Adding a firewall exception

It is very likely that Tally is already configured to connect through your Windows firewall. In case it is not, the following links provide instruction on how to do that. There are a large number of sites providing these instructions.
On Windows XP
On Windows Vista

Find IP Address

For finCom to access the Tally, it requires the IP address of the system where TALLY IS INSTALLED.
Please follow the below steps to find the ip.

		Open a Command Prompt (in Start > All Programs > Accessories)
		Type 'IPCONFIG' and Press Enter
		Lot of information will be displayed as shown in the image below
		Look for 'IP Address' (marked by Orange Arrow in image below). This value has to be entered in the finCom app
		To access Tally via Internet, plese ref. to the section below

Access from Internet

Configuring finCom to access the Tally data through the internet is different from accessing it within the network or intranet.
Before opening access to the internet it is very important to know the security implications of opening the port to the web.
There are multiple ways in which Tally can be accesed through internet. You will need to know the static ip address allotted by your ISP.
The most common method is port forwarding on the router. The following links provide information on how to do that.
