Hog3PC with your Server Wholehog via a Wireless Router |

Networking
Hog3PC via a Wireless Router - This is especially
useful if you'd like to use Hog3PC on your laptop as a RFU (Remote
Focus Unit)
**These Instructions are specific
to software version 3.0 or greater**
What you'll need in addition to your consoles:
- (1) Wireless Router: pre-configured to your
desired range
- Non-crossover ethernet cables
- All necessary DP2000s and/or DP8000s
or widgets*
The options detailed below are possible configurations that will allow
you to set a Roadhog FullBoar, iPC, Hog3PC or Wholehog 3 as the server
console and bring in your Hog3PC as a client via a wireless router.
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 wireless router. In this
set-up, we will allow the router to act as a DHCP server, meaning that
the router will distribute the TCP/IP settings over the entire network.
Additionally- You can also choose to replace the wireless router with a
wired router and wireless access point. Your wired router will need to
have enough LAN ports to accommodate all Wholehog network devices and
the Wireless Access Point. If your router does not have the necessary
quantity of ports, then an additional Ethernet switch may be needed.
You can have as many client consoles as you like, but only one server.

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

Part 2- Network Configuration for Server and 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."
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 3- 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 4- Configuring the DP2000s or DP8000s
The DP’s default setting is to
accept an IP and Subnet via DHCP. When using a router, this 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.
* 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.
