•
computer name (for example: IMC32CON03), workgroup name (for example: FIRE_DISP) and domain name (if
any)
•
IP address (for example: 192.168.1.1) and subnet mask (for example: 255.255.255.0)
•
connection type (for example: 10-base T)
Proper network configuration and connection may be verified between two (2) computers/workstations via the PING
command from an MS-DOS prompt. The syntax is “
PING
” followed by a space and the desired IP address. For example,
assuming a remote workstation on the network has a known IP address of 197.117.47.205, typing
“
PING 197.117.47.205
” (followed by <
Enter
>) will send out a network IP ping for this IP address. The PING com-
mand will make attempts to address the computer at the requested IP address regardless of the computer type or operating
system. Typing just “
PING
” (followed by <
Enter
>) will cause the command to return its syntax and optional switches only
(no ping request is sent).
To see other Windows NT computers on a network, use File Manager. Specifically, select
Disk…
then
Connect
Network Drive…
to open File Manager’s
Connect Network Drive
dialog box. The
Shared Directories
box at the bottom
of this dialog box lists all computers on the network and disk drive shares (if any) in an expanding tree structure. For addi-
tional details, refer to File Manager’s on-line help or the Windows NT Workstation
System Guide
manual.
File Manager may also be used to set-up local disk drive shares on a network. To accomplish this from File Manager, se-
lect
Disk…
then
Share As…
to open the
New Share
dialog box. Follow by entering appropriate data in the respective text
boxes. Refer to File Manager’s on-line help or the Windows NT Workstation
System Guide
manual for complete details.
Once a drive/directory is shared, it can be accessed by other Windows NT computers on the network in the same manner as
they access a network drive. The specific drive letter designation is assigned when connected via the
Connect Network
Drive
dialog box.
NOTE
For additional details on network interface cards and configurations required when utilizing them, refer to the
Windows NT Workstation
System Guide
manual.
6.1.2.2 TCP/IP-Related Configurations Without Network Interface Card
If the PC
does not
have a network interface card installed within it, TCP/IP protocol configurations must be configured as
follows
before the console’s feature licensed options will operate
. These are the factory default settings:
•
network card’s name = “MS Loopback Adapter”
•
domain name = (default)
•
network card’s settings = (not used)
•
frame type = “802.3”
•
computer name = “CONSOLE”
•
IP address = 192.168.1.1
•
workgroup name= (default)
•
subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
The above configurations may be performed from Windows NT Control Panel’s
Network Settings
dialog box. This
dialog box is opened via the Network icon within Control Panel. For additional details on the console’s feature licensed
options, refer to section 6.2.7 in this manual (page 57).
6.1.2.3 Computer Names
6.1.2.3.1 Computer Not Networked
When shipped from the factory, all C3 Maestro consoles have a computer name = “CONSOLE”. If the C3 Maestro
console for Windows NT is not networked, no computer name change from this factory default name is required. All non-
networked consoles can carry the factory default computer name.
