The Net name defines the machine name on the network. This name is user-
defined but cannot exceed 8 characters. Entering a Network Name is not
mandatory because a network number is also assigned to the system, but it
is recommended to easily identify all servers connected to the XNet.

The Net Number parameter defines the machine number on the network.
This number is user-defined and must be unique for each system on the
network. When entering a new number if this number is already assigned to
another machine, an error message will warn the user.

Possible values: [Client, Master, Server]
The type defines the privileges of the XT[2] server on the SDTI network.
One XT[2] server on the network should be set to Server type. If no server
is defined, XNet will not be activated. If more than one server is defined,
only the first one to connect will be the actual server.
Other XT[2] servers on the network can be set either to Master type if they
need to access clips from other servers, or to Client type if their clips must
be available on the network but they don’t need to access clips from other
servers.

Make sure that all XT[2]s are on the same date and time. This information
can be checked from the VGA Setup screen (SHIFT+F2) and changed via
the operating system. From the OS prompt, type 'date' and enter the current
date. Type 'time' and enter the current time.
The first time the server is started, a pop-up message will be displayed to
confirm the server’s date and time. This date and time information will be
transmitted to any XT[2] connecting to the same SDTI network.
