5.13.4 Remote Configuration Tool
The (Remote) Configuration Tool is very similar to the Configuration Tool
that can be started from the Remote Console’s Admin - Config page. The
only difference is that it allows selection of the console to be configured – so
it is, in fact, useful only in case of a larger networked system.
Installation
Important for Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs: Make sure that you have
write access to the selected location.
  • Locatethefolder x_SW_Vx.x.x.xx for your console type on the Product
DVD shipped with your console. Navigate to the Win2K_Compilations/
Release Configuration Tool
folder.
  • Copythecompletefoldertoalocationofyourchoiceonyourcomputer.
  • Openthefolderyouhavecopiedbeforeandmakeacopyofthe con-
tainer_template.ini
file; rename the copy to container.ini.
  • Editthe container.ini file:
- Select a system ID that is not used by another system (you can use the
System Viewer for information), such as systemid = 80.
- Give the system a name that makes sense, such as systemname =
“Admin”
.
- In the container ID list there already exists an entry ‘Standalone Con-
figGUI’ that may be selected – so enter containerid = 20.
- Give the container a name, such as containername = “CnfgTool”.
It makes sense to use no more than 8 characters due to visualization
aspects.
- If your console(s) is/are working with multicasts in your network,
uncomment one or several of the # MulticastGroup = ... lines
(i.e., delete the ‘#’ hash mark and the following blank), and enter the
multicast address(es) that your IT administrator should be able to give
you.
- When using multicasts, uncomment the MulticastTimeToLive line
and enter a value of 10 or higher, depending on the number of routers
through which the multicast has to travel.
- If your computer has more than one network adapter, the MAC address
mustbeuncommentedandspecified.YouwillfindtheMACaddress
under your computer’s network settings, such as MAC = 00-1B-21-
4F-13-BD
in our example.
- Alternatively, or if multiple networks are bound to a network adapter,
the base IP address of the network (NetworkAddress) can be specified
instead of the MAC address.
  • Saveandclosethe container.ini f ile. Generate a shortcut to Configu-
ration Tool.exe
and move it to your desktop for a convenient start of
the tool.
Installation is complete now.
Nice to know: It is possible to configure different consoles being not part of the same mul-
ticast group from a single computer. Just enter all required multicast groups
here; this will allow the configuration tool accessing the consoles, but the
consoles will not ‘see’ each other although they are within the same network.
The Config Tool container.ini file used for this example looks as follows:
