2 Navigate to the bin directory of the mental ray satellite standalone. By
default this is C:\Program Files\Autodesk\mrsat3.9.1-maya2012\bin\.
3 Type the following:
raysat2012server
/query
A message should be returned that the RaySat2012 Server service is
running.
If you do not get this message, make sure that RaySat2012 Server has
been installed as a service, and start it from the Services Control Panel
(Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Options > Services)
or type the following:
raysat2012server
/start
Slave machine port setup
On the slave machine, port number 7412 is set by default. This works well in
the majority of cases and you won’t need to change the port number.
If you want to change the port number that mental ray satellite uses to a value
other than 7412, 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, 7412) to the desired port
number:
mi-raysat2012
7412/tcp
To change the port number (Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger)
1 Log in as superuser (sudo -s).
