VENICE Administration and Configuration User Guide
1. You have to change the IP address of the respective network port.
2. You have to set the IP address for the VENICE server software and
restart it.
3. You have to change the IP address in the Spycer software.
These steps are described in the following.
Configuring the IP Address of the Network Port
To configure the IP address of the network port you can either use the
standard tools/command line of the system or the DVS web utility (see
section “DVS Web Utility” on page 5-1). It is recommended to give the
port a static IP address so that it can always be reached under the same
address in the network. When finished, either reboot the VENICE server
or restart the network service of the operating system.
Setting the IP Address for the VENICE Server Software
The IP address that you have configured for the VENICE server has to
be set in a configuration file of the VENICE server software as well. This
IP address will then be used by the server software to identify connec-
tion requests to the server from VENICE client softwares (from the lo-
cally installed one as well as remote ones).
y In the path /etc/opt/DVS/Venice/ open the file
Service.conf with a text editor (e.g. vi).
y In the section [Service] change the line IP=10.0.0.<x> to
the IP address which you have set for the network port.
y Then save the file.
y Afterwards either reboot the VENICE server or restart the server
software (see section “Controlling the VENICE Server Software” on
page 5-2).
After this the VENICE server is prepared to receive connection requests,
but to conclude the changing of the IP address you have to change the
IP address for the Spycer software as well.
To connect successfully to the VENICE server from a VENICE
client software, the IP address configured for the network port,
the one set in the configuration file and the one entered in the
user interface of the VENICE client software must be the iden-
tical.
The following can also be performed with the DVS web utility
(see section “DVS Web Utility” on page 5-1).
