If you want to change the port number that mental ray satellite uses to a value
other than 7411, you must edit the services file. The port value would be
determined by your network administrator (a free TCP/IP port).
To change the port number (Windows, Linux)
1 Edit the services file with a text editor.
The services file is located at:
■ (Windows XP) C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\services
■ (Linux) /etc/services
2 Change the number in the following line (here, 7411) to the desired port
number:
mi-raysat2011 7411/tcp
To change the port number (Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger)
1 Log in as superuser (sudo -s).
2 Open the file /etc/services using your preferred text editor.
3 Edit the line: mi-raysat2011 7411/tcp.
4 Save the file.
5 From the Finder menu, select Go > Applications and then double-click
the Utilities folder.
6 Double-click the NetInfo Manager icon.
7 Under the Services directory of the NetInfo database, find and select the
appropriate service (mental ray Satellite 3.8.1 for Maya 2011).
8 Click the lock icon at the bottom of the panel and then enter your
administrator user name and password. This allows you to unlock the
NetInfo database and make changes.
9 Select the port field and change its value to the desired port number.
10 Click the lock icon again when you’re done.
11 From the Finder menu, select Domain > Save Changes to commit your
