Network settings
For optimum performance during calibration, a 1.0 Gbps Ethernet connection is
recommended. 100 Mbps will also give adequate performance.
The communication between the control PC and MIPS units is based on a bi-directional XML
protocol. For this to work properly, any fi rewall between Control PC and MIPS units should
be disabled.
Software
To the use MIPS system, ProNet.Site and the ProNet.MIPS plugin must be installed on a
control PC.
The latest version of the software can be found at www.projectiondesign.com
A license key is required to use the software. The key can be acquired by contacting an
authorised projectiondesign representative.
NOTE! ProNet.Site must be installed before the ProNet.MIPS plugin is installed.
