Configuring the connection settings
(Optional – this dialog box can be left empty. If empty, the GUI will scan the local computer and the local computer’s subnet.)
Use these settings to indicate a specific address, where DS-Operator will look for a DS-System service. This can speed up your login in larger network environments. You can also configure the GUI to scan entire subnets.
To add new connection settings for DS-Operator GUI:
1. On the Setup menu, click Initialization.
• To add an entry in this dialog box, click Add.
• To edit an entry in this dialog box, select it and click Modify.
2. To add a specific DS-System, click Add in the Additional DS-Systems section. The Add / Modify a DS-System dialog box appears.
• DS-System Type – Select Single DS-System or N+1 DS-System. The dialog box will change based on this selection.
• Address – Type the IP or DNS address of the DS-System entry. DS-Operator will scan each address in the list for a DS-System service.
• Port – Do not change this setting unless you have a specific requirement to do so.
• Use UDP protocol to discover DS-System – The UDP protocol will display a list of DS-Systems faster, though with less certainty that a DS-System is capable of accepting a connection.
a) Type the DS-System address.
b) Click OK. The entry appears in the Additional DS-Systems section.
3. To add an entire subnet, in the Additional Subnets section click Add. The Add / Modify Subnet dialog box appears.
• Specify the subnet and click OK. The entry appears in the Additional Subnets section.
4. Continue with steps 2-3 as required.
5. Click OK to save any changes.
NOTE: DS-Operator GUI will scan the LAN for all active DS-Systems, whether or not any entries are in the Additional DS-Systems list. DS-Systems specified in the Additional DS-Systems list which are not detected, will appear in red. A DS-System on the local computer appears in blue.
