Setup guide

NOTE The interfaces are listed in the order of preference. Wire tries to connect to hosts using the first interface
in the list first.
For example:
[INTERFACES]
FRAMESTORE=kamloops
PROT=IB_SDP IADDR=192.168.0.1 DEV=1
PROT=TCP IADDR=10.0.0.5 DEV=1
■ The FRAMESTORE keyword sets the name that identifies the framestore when remote hosts attempt
to connect to it.
■ The PROT keyword defines the network protocol used to communicate to the framestore: TCP for
TCP/IP or IB_SDP for InfiniBand.
■ The IADDR keyword specifies the IP address of the network card.
NOTE When using InfiniBand cards, make sure the IADDR is different from the host address (HADDR) of
the card, otherwise the workstation sends house network traffic through the InfiniBand network and
impair Wire transfers.
5 Open the /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_probed_cfg file in a text editor and make sure that SelfDiscovery parameter
is set to “yes” and that the value of the Port keyword matches the value used by the other workstations
in your network.
If these values are set properly, Stone and Wire uses its self discovery mechanism to locate all other
Wire hosts on your network and make their framestores accessible to your application.
6 Open the /etc/exports file in a text editor and specify all directories you want remote hosts to be able to
access.
You can export the entire /usr/discreet directory to enable remote access to all clip libraries, projects,
user preferences and setups. Or you can export only certain subdirectories, such as /usr/discreet/clip or
/usr/discreet/project.
For example, to export the /usr/discreet/clip directory, add the following line to the end of the exports
file:
/usr/discreet/clip *(rw, sync, no_root_squash)
After saving the updated exports file, type the following command in the terminal to apply the changes:
exportfs -a
7 If you want to use Wiretap, open the file /usr/discreet/wiretap/cfg/wiretapd.cfg in a text editor, and configure
all the network interfaces you want to use for Wiretap in the [Server] section of the file.
8 Restart Stone and Wire. Type:
/etc/init.d/stone+wire restart
9 To test that Wire is working, type:
/usr/discreet/sw/tools/sw_framestore_dump
This command should show all Wire hosts discovered on your network.
