2013

On the slave machine, the Ray Sat server (service name: mental ray Satellite
3.10.1 for Maya 2013) must be running. To verify that it is running on
Windows, follow this procedure.
To verify that Ray Sat server is running (Windows)
1 Open a Windows command prompt.
2 Navigate to the bin directory of the mental ray satellite standalone. By
default this is C:\Program Files\Autodesk\mrsat3.10.1-maya2013\bin\.
3 Type the following:
raysat2013server
/query
A message should be returned that the RaySat2013 Server service is
running.
If you do not get this message, make sure that RaySat2013 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:
raysat2013server
/start
Slave machine port setup
On the slave machine, port number 7413 is set by default. This works well in
the majority of cases and you wont need to change the port number.
If you want to change the port number that mental ray satellite uses to a value
other than 7413, 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, 7413) to the desired port
number:
