Networking
Hog3PC via a Wireless Access Point - These
instructions will help you to manually set up a network that allows
you to use Hog3PC on your laptop as a RFU
(Remote
Focus Unit). Alternatively, you can choose to use a wireless
router.
**These Instructions are specific
to software version 3.0 or greater**
What you'll need in
addition to your consoles:
-
(1) Wireless Access Point
- (1) Ethernet Switch
- Non-crossover ethernet cables
- All necessary DP2000s and/or DP8000s
(widgets cannot be used in this set-up)
The options detailed below are one possible configuration.
These are
not the only configurations that will work.
Wholehog products do not include any wireless network devices, so you
must connect the Wholehog consoles and all DPs using non-crossover
cables directly to the LAN ports on the switch. In this
set-up, we will allow the Wholehog server to act as a DHCP server,
meaning
that this console will distribute the TCP/IP settings over the entire
network.
You can have as many client consoles as you like, but only one server.

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

Part 2- Configuring your
Wholehog console as the Server
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
laptop to the network as a client 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 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:
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.
Note 2: 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 console(s):
- In the Wholehog Start Window, press
“Settings”
- Change the console number to
“2”
(for multiple
clients, make each a different number)
- 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.
