Standalone mode
Selecting this option allows the operator to start the XFile without being connected
to the XNet. In this mode only the maintenance mode is active.
Important
The bandwidth, the video standard and the Database Size must be
identical on all machines connected to the XNet. If one system is
configured with a different bandwidth, video standard or database size,
it will block the entire network.
Net Name
The Net name defines the machine name on the network. This name is user-
defined and can exceed 8 characters, but only 8 characters will be visible from the
XNet views. Entering a Network Name is not mandatory because a network number
is automatically given to the system, but it is recommended to name the machines
in order to easily identify all systems connected to XNet.
Net Number
Range: [1 … 29]
The Net number defines the machine number on the network. This number is user-
defined.
