Enable streaming: Adding network hosts names
3. Shutdown and restart Windows.
4. If you are going to stream video between iDDRs, proceed to “Enable streaming:
Adding network hosts names” on page 275 , otherwise, the iDDR is ready for
standard data networking tasks.
NOTE: If you have a problem with the network, try using the ping utility in the
Windows command prompt. Use either the IP address or host name. Troubleshoot as
needed. Also, refer to the Turbo iDDR Service Manual for troubleshooting
procedures.
Enable streaming: Adding network hosts names
You must add the host names of all peer iDDRs on the network that support streaming
transfers. Adding host names is required to allow selection of networked iDDRs in the
AppCenter user interface and to provide a successful network connection for
streaming. The host names added will appear in the “Import” and “Send to” dialog
boxes.
NOTE: By default, the iDDR host name is the same as the Windows computer name.
To determine the iDDR computer name, right-click My Computer on the Windows
desktop, then properties. Select the Network Identification tab and look for the “Full
computer name”.
In addition, if you are using remote protocol to perform video network transfers,
you’ll need to assign a unique Controller ID number for each host name. If you are
not using remote protocol for network transfers, you can leave the Controller Id blank.
Each hostname requires a unique ID on the local iDDR. The controller ID is not
global, that is, iDDR-2 may use controller ID 2 on one iDDR, but controller ID 1 on
another.
To add a network host names:
1. Start AppCenter Workstation, if it is not already running, using the desktop
shortcut.
2. In AppCenter main menu, select System , then choose Configuration .
3. Click the Remote tab.
The network host names are displayed.
