The purpose of this manual is to describe a typical installation of all components of the ECF (ECCAIRS 5 Common Framework) system, as well as set-up and configuration of database components for the storage of accident/incident Occurrences in a standardised and structured manner. To simplify the reading, form now on the term ECCAIRS 5 will be used everywhere, also in place of ECF, ECCAIRS 5 Common Framework). In fact the ECCAIRS Server and all the ECCAIRS Client applications are based on the ECF layer, but this is relevant only from the software developer standpoint, and not for the User or Administrator.
