Annex Manager User Guide
Part 1 Annex Manager Basics
Understanding the Automatic Annex List
When you start Annex Manager, the software finds all available Annexes
on your local network and places them in the main window Annex List
box with their hardware types.
To disable this process, us the
-nod
argument when you load Annex
Manager (e.g., type
gui_am -nod
).
Annex Manager displays a new window over the main window to inform
you that the automatic discovery process is taking place (
Figure 4-3
).
Figure 4-3. Automatic Discovery Process Window
As
Figure 4-3
shows, this message window indicates that you did not
enter a specific
Internet Address
or
Subnet Mask
. In addition, it includes the
default broadcast address for your local network, and a default timeout
value.
You can use the
-dn
(Discover Network),
-ds
(Discover Subnet
mask),
-dt
(Discover Timeout), and -
nod
(No Discovery) command
arguments when you load Annex Manager to override default
settings. For example, you can type
gui_am -dn 132.245.88.0 -ds
255.255.255.0 -dt 5
to discover Annexes for the 132.245.88.0
internet address and 255.255.255.0 subnet mask with a response
time of 5 seconds. You cannot use
-dn
and
-ds
separately. Annex
Manager does not require that you enter a new timeout value.
