Wholehog Consoles Manually |

Manual
Networking allows you to set any TCP/IP range you like on
your consoles. This tutorial offers one possible setting that
you can use.
**These
Instructions are specific to software version 3.0 or greater**
What you'll need in
addition to your consoles:
-
(1) Ethernet Switch
- Non-crossover ethernet cables
- All necessary DP2000s and/or DP8000s
and widgets*
You can have as many client consoles as you like, but only one server.
Your client consoles can be a Wholehog 3, an iPC, a
Roadhog Full Boar or Hog3PC.

Part 1- Hardware
Configuration
1. Connect the server console, all client consoles, and the
DPs
to the ethernet switch using non-crossover cables.
2. Ensure that all consoles are running the same version and
build number of software.

Part 2- Network
Configuration for the Server Console
1.
Press the SETUP key
2. Select CONTROL PANEL from the toolbar at the bottom of your right
monitor.
3. In the Control Panel, select the NETWORK tab
4. The "HogNet Adapter" should list your console's ethernet port (this
is especially important to confirm if you are using Hog3PC on a
computer with multiple ethernet adaptors).
5. Select "Use Default IP settings"
6. Under DHCP/Boot Server, select "Enable Boot Server" only.
7. Press "OK."

Part 3- Configuring your
client consoles
1. Press the SETUP key
2. Select CONTROL PANEL from the toolbar at the bottom of your right
monitor.
3. In the Control Panel, select the NETWORK tab
4. The
"HogNet Adapter" should list your console's ethernet port (this is
especially important to confirm if you are using Hog3PC on a computer
with multiple ethernet adaptors).
5. Select "Use Custom IP settings" This will
allow you to manually set
the IP and subnet in the same range as your server console. A sample
TCP/IP range is detailed below:
- IP Address: 172.31.0.2
(for additional consoles, change the last digit:
example: 172.31.0.3)
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
- Default Gateway: 172.31.0.1
- DNS Server: 127.0.0.1
6. Under DHCP/Boot Server, ensure that "Enable Boot Server only" is
enabled.
7. Press "OK."
Note
for Hog3PC: You will most likely
need to
disable the firewall on the connection you are using while networking
with Wholehog 3.

Part 4- Logging In as a
Client
1. Ensure that your server console is logged into the show
you wish to network.
2. On your client consoles:
- In the Wholehog Start Window, press
“Settings”
- Change the console number to
“2”
- De-select “Run Server”
- Click OK
3. In the “Connect to Show” section of the Wholehog
Start window, you should see the server console listed via its IP
address. If it says “No Network Show Found,” try
pressing “Rescan.” Once it is listed, you can click
the server console to join the session.

Part
5- Configuring the DP2000s or DP8000s
TheThe
DP’s default setting is
to accept an IP and Subnet via DHCP. You will need to change these
settings to a manual TCP/IP range. Instructions are listed below.
1. Select “Network” from the LCD screen of the DP
2. Select “IP Status”
3. Select “IP Config”
4. In the IP Config window, you will need to de-select “Use
DHCP” by un-checking the box.
5. Also in this window, you will need to set the IP and Subnet to match
the range used on your server console.
- The IP address cannot conflict with the server or client console IP
addresses. As with the client consoles, simply change the last digit of
the IP addresses (example: 172.31.0.4, and so on)
- The subnet should be exactly the same (255.255.0.0)
6. After making this change in the DP, you must reset the processor in
order for the information to take effect. Simply power cycle the DP to
do this.
*
A Note on Widgets:
FPS widgets and superwidgets can be used in this configuration, but
only if the server console is a Hog iPC, Full Boar or Hog3PC.
The
widgets must be connected to the server console. Widgets
cannot
be used if the Wholehog 3 is being used as the server console.
