Connecting the Slave Renderer to a Lustre
Workstation
The Slave Renderer is available for the Master Station, the Lustre Station, and
the Lustre HD Station, all of which must be running on a Windows-based
workstation. The Slave Renderer is not available for the Linux-based version
of Lustre, since it uses Incinerator to obtain real-time rendering and playback.
Although the Slave Renderer uses a network connection, a higher Category 6
grade cable is needed to accommodate the data that is transmitted. For
information on configuring the IP addresses of the network ports that connect
the two workstations, see the Autodesk Lustre 2011 Installation and Configuration
Guide for Windows Workstations.
To connect the Slave Renderer to a Windows-based workstation:
1 Connect the Category 6 crossover cable to the on-board network port at
the back of the Lustre workstation.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the network port 1 of the Slave
Renderer machine.
The Slave Renderer should be connected as shown in the following
diagram.
