System information

Figure 9. Network Driver Configuration
The main purpose of the network driver configuration is to define the
connections to and from the other workstations using TME 10 NetFinity. Let′s
have a look at the following definition fields within this menu and their meanings:
•
System Name
The System Name field can be any combination of alphanumeric characters
including blanks. It shows the name of the workstation. This name can be
seen later in the management process when monitoring the client groups. It
is used to easily identify your workstations.
•
Network Drivers
The Network Drivers field automatically shows you all the installed network
device drivers such as NetBIOS, IPX, TCP/IP and Serial support. In
parentheses you can find the status of this driver, which means, whether or
not this driver has been activated for TME 10 NetFinity usage. You can
easily activate or deactivate any of the drivers by selecting it with the mouse
and marking the check box Driver Enabled. If TME 10 NetFinity is running,
you will need to restart it to add the additional protocols. The Network
Driver Configuration panel is shown in Figure 9. In this menu you can see
that the NetBIOS and TCP/IP drivers are enabled, which means they can be
used by TME 10 NetFinity. The IPX and SERIAL driver support are installed,
but disabled. In this example we selected the NetBIOS driver (highlighted)
and marked the Driver Enabled check box. The Network Address field shown
in this figure shows some additional required information depending on the
device driver. For NetBIOS this will be a NetBIOS name which is used for
communication between the manager and its clients.
