Before You Run the RCT
Connect HFA II- i to Your Network
Use an Ethernet cable to connect your HFA II-
i to your existing network (see “Connecting Your
Network Components,” on page I-3).
Firewall Software
Firewall software is designed to limit the transfer of data fr
om one computer to another (e.g., from
the HFA to the computer/server), so it will interfere with HFA networking functionality. If you are
running firewall software on your system, you will need to change its settings as described below.
Windows XP Firewall: If you ar
e using Windows XP Firewall (the default on most Windows XP
systems), then you will need to open Ports 137, 138, 139 and 445 to allow the HFA to transfer files
to your computer. The Open Ports button on the W
ELCOME screen opens these ports (see “Welcome
Screen,” on page G-4). When selected, a Question dialog will be displayed. Select Ye
s to continue.
No further action on your part will be required. If some or all of the ports ar
e already opened, the
Open Ports button will keep them opened.
Other Firewall: If you ar
e using any other firewall software, you will still need to open Ports 137, 138,
139 and 445. Please see your firewall documentation for instructions.
For more details, see “Troubleshooting,” on page G-43.
Windows File Sharing Settings
Some networks require an additional modification to allow file sharing. If
the RCT runs successfully,
but Test Connection returns “failed”, you may need to modify your Windows File Sharing setting:
The Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box in Windows XP must NOT be selected. To
access this setting, go to
My Computer > Tools > Folder Options… and select the View tab. Scroll
to the bottom of the Advanced settings section and ensure that Use simple file sharing
(Recommended) is NOT selected. For more details, see “Troubleshooting,” on page G-43.
Licensing
The networking features (i.e., HFA-NET Pro) configur
ed by the RCT are only available as licensed
software. Make sure you have activated them on your HFA II-
i before running the RCT.
