Connection
(Optional - this screen can be left empty. If empty, the GUI will scan the local computer and the local computer's subnet.)
Use these settings to indicate a specific address, where DS-Operator will look for a DS-System service. This can speed up your login in larger network environments. You can also configure the GUI to scan entire subnets.
1. Setup menu > Initialization.
- F1 Help: See "DS-Operator Initialization - Connection".
- To add an entry in this screen, click "Add".
- To edit an entry in this screen, highlight it and click "Modify".
2. To add a specific DS-System, click "Add" in the "Additional DS-Systems" section. The "Add / Modify DS-System" screen appears (it is slightly different, depending on the type of DS-System entry selected).
- F1 Help: See "Add / Modify a DS-System Connection Screen".
- DS-System Type: Select Single or N+1 DS-System. The screen will change based on this selection.
- Address: IP or DNS Address(es) of the DS-System entry. DS-Operator will scan each address for a DS-System Service.
- Port: Do not change this setting unless you have a specific requirement to do so.
- UDP: The UDP protocol can display the list of DS-Systems faster, though with less certainty that a DS-System is capable of accepting a connection.
3. Specify a DS-System Address.
4. Click OK. The entry appears in the "Additional DS-Systems" section.
5. To add an entire subnet, click "Add" in the "Additional Subnets" section. The "Add / Modify Subnet" screen appears.
- F1 Help: See "Add / Modify Subnet".
6. Continue with steps 2-5 as required.
7. Click OK to save any changes.
- Note: DS-Operator will scan the LAN for all active DS-Systems, whether or not any entries are in the Additional DS-Systems list.
