| Networking a
Wholehog with a Visualizer System using the Console's DHCP Server |
|
Setting
your console as a DHCP server to network with your Visualizer computer
What you'll need:
- (1) Crossover ethernet cable (cat-5)
- Wholehog
Visualizer Connectivity Drivers on your Computer
- Visualizer Program (ESP Vision, Wyg,
MSD, Capture)
One networking option (and probably the easiest) is to set your console
to act as a DHCP Server. That means that your console will distribute
all
of the TCP/IP settings needed for a successful network connection.
Note: This document is specific to the network settings found in
Wholehog Software V3.0.

Part 1- Configuring your console's network settings
1. Press the SETUP key
2. Select CONTROL PANEL from the toolbar at the bottom of
your right monitor. (this can also be accessed from the Start
Screen)
3. In the Control Panel, select the NETWORK tab
4. Ensure that the settings are as listed
below
- Your Hognet Adaptor should list your console's
(or computer's) ethernet port,
- "Use default IP
settings" should be selected.
- Select "Enable DHCP and Boot Server"
5. Press "OK"

Part 2- Configuring your Visualizer Computer
1. Click your computer's START Button
and select "My Network Places."
2. In the new window, click "View Network Connections" from
the left pane (under Network Tasks). Alternatively,
open your computer's Control Panel and select "Network Connections"
3. Locate your "Local Area Connection" and right-click on it.
4. From the drop-down menu, select "Properties."
5. In the new window that opens, select "Internet
Protocol
(TCP/IP)" and click "Properties." See screenshot below.
6. Another window will open, select "Obtain an IP Address
Automatically" and also "Obtain DNS address automatically."
It
should look like the screenshot below.
7. Click OK and close all network windows.
Note: 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 3-
Launching the Visualizer
This section uses ESP Vision as the
example. For other visualizers, consult your Visualizer's
manual for launching
instructions.
1. Log into your patched showfile on your console before
starting your Visualizer.
2. After launching ESP Vision, choose "Hog 3" as your DMX
source.
3. The visualizer will then launch, along with your
connectivity driver. You can see the status of your
connection in the window. The process will look like these
screenshots below:
