Paul Vinkenoog's response is correct, but I fear a little ambiguous so I will by explicit.

The Embedded Server deployment CAN NOT host remote connections from other workstations.

The Embedded Server CAN be installed on a computer *which also has as a separate Firebird install (non-SuperServer)* and share access to a single database file.
