Configuring a Network 2-23
❐ To avoid possible problems, we suggest that the workgroup be
the same for all BCMS Vu PCs.
❐ “Computer Description” is optional.
❐ (Windows 95 or Windows 98) Select Share-level access control.
_______________________________________________________________
* These are typical settings
** On a Novell Network you may set this to Novell Interware Client.
❐ Install Hosts files:
Unless you are using WINS for name resolution, you must create and
install “hosts” files as follows:
Create a text file named “hosts” containing IP address and computer name
information for every BCMS Vu Server, Client, and Wallboard PC. Use one
line for each PC.
Example: 123.123.123.123 pcname.avaya.com pcname
Install this file on every BCMS Vu Server, Client, and Wallboard PC. In
Windows 95 or Windows 98 install this file in the Windows\System\
directory. In Windows NT 4.0 install this file in the Winnt\system32\
drivers\ etc\ directory.
❐ Install LMHosts files:
If a BCMS Vu Client is on a different LAN segment than the BCMS Vu
Server,
Create a text file named “LMHosts” containing IP address and computer
name information for the BCMS Vu Server.
Example: 123.123.123.123 servername #PRE
Install this file on every BCMS Vu Client and Wallboard PC that is on a
different LAN segment than the BCMS Vu Server. In Windows 95 or
Note
You must update this file on all PCs if any IP address or
name information changes or if new PCs are added.
