Introduction

The ACEpcs use two different systems for connecting a network

1. NETBeui - this was used on earlier machines but reliability depends on the customer network setup. Reconfiguration after initial setup is difficult
2. IP addressing - A setup system was written using IP addresses to connect. This is a little harder to set up, but is easier to change later. A special program called netedit was written which updates all the correct files in the background

Étape 1 - Check if netedit is installed

At the command prompt, change to drive C: and ensure netedit exists

If the file does not exist, follow the procedure for installing the netedit software using a 'netsetgo' disk

Étape 2 - Run NetEdit from command prompt

At DOS prompt, ensure you are on drive C: by typing

c:

And press enter

type

netedit

And press enter

Étape 3 - Set the saw name

Build number must be unique. If a flowline saw put an "s" on the end. i.e. F073S

Étape 4 - Saw IP address

This is supplied by customer. IT department

If testing in house it needs to be on the 192.168.16.xxx range.

e.g 192.168.16.101

Étape 5 - Multi Name

If this is for a Flowline - Build Number of Flowline machining center

Otherwise this will be the net NETBEUI name of the pc you are connecting to.

For testing at stuga this will be NAS1

Étape 6 - Multi IP

If this is for a Flowline - IP Address of Flowline machining center

Otherwise this will be the IP address of the pc you are connecting to.

For testing at stuga this will be 192.168.16.6

Étape 7 - Save + Exit

Press escape - then Y

The message:

Unable to open params.saw file

is normal.

Étape 8 - Remove Disk and reboot

Ensure the floppy disk is removed and reboot

Success will be seen if the machine boots into Drive D:

If the saw is connected to a flowline, the saw software should run automatically
