Networking
your
Wholehog as a DHCP server with client consoles
**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
When a console is acting as a DHCP server
console, it makes setting up the network configurations a
breeze. Your console can distribute all
of the TCP/IP settings needed for a successful network connection.
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 Wholehog server, 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
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. Your Hognet Adaptor should list your ethernet port (this is
especially important to confirm if you are using Hog3PC on a computer
with multiple network adaptors).
5. Select "Obtain an IP address using DHCP"
6. Ensure that "Enable DHCP and Boot Server" is not
enabled.
7. Press "OK."
Notes
for Hog 3 PC: You will
most likely need to
disable the firewall on the connection you are using while networking
with Wholehog 3.
You may see an
information message on your computer
that
says you have "Limited or No Connectivity" to the internet.
This
is not an error- the Wholehog 3 will not give you access to
the
internet.

Part 4- Logging In as a Client
1. Ensure that your server console is logged into the show
you wish to network.
2. Set the Hog3PC (and/or iPC and/or Full Boar) as a client.
- 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
The
DP’s default setting is to
accept an IP and Subnet via DHCP. When setting your console as a
DHCP/Boot Server, it will distribute TCP/IP information to the DPs in
the same
manner that it delivers this information to the client console(s).
Instructions for confirming the defaults 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 select “Use
DHCP” by putting a check mark in the box.
5. 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.
