Networking Guidelines

responsibility for any source or target system performance degradation or any other
change or defect resulting from the attempt to perform these tasks.
Note: The requirements below are for a target system running Windows 2000 or XP.
If your intended target system is running another operating system, it may be
possible to configure it to import from the Stratus OCT, but the configuration
requirements may be different and are not explained here.
Configuration requirements
1. If transferring data via a network, connect both the source and target systems to the
network using a standard cable. If transferring via direct connection between source
and target, connect the two using a crossover cable. The Stratus OCT system has a
network connector (ethernet port) on the rear of the computer.
2. The source and target systems must have computer names, and these must be
different. If necessary, create a computer name of your choice for one or both
computers.
3. Both source and target systems must share the same set of networking protocols, as
follows. (The Stratus OCT is shipped with the following protocols properly configured.)
• Client for Microsoft Networks
• File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
• Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
4. On the target system, create a shared folder that will receive the imported data and
enable access to the target system from the source system.
5. On the source system, map a network drive to the shared folder you created on the
target system in step
4. If the target system is password protected, you must access it
with a user account having either Standard User or Administrator privileges in
Windows 2000, or having Computer administrator privileges in Windows XP.
6. The Stratus OCT is configured by default to use DHCP. If the source system is
connected to a network that uses static IP addressing, the following TCP/IP
parameters must be configured: IP address, Subnet, and Default gateway.
