Quick start - Enertex
®
EibStudio
The Enertex
®
EibPC also finds a
definite IP address without a DHCP
server. In this case, when using a
peer-to-peer connection, a
crossover network cable is
necessary!
1. Starting the Enertex
®
EibStudio
2. Configuration of the firewall
Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
For the commissioning of the Enertex
®
EibPC, especially the network setup, you must first configure
the firewall on the router and the PC from which you access the Enertex
®
EibPC so that packets of
the Enertex
®
EibPC will not be blocked.
The Enertex
®
EibPC must be accessible via a LAN connection via an IP address. The default setting of the Enertex
®
EibPC is the configuration by a DHCP server, i.e. if a DHCP enabled router is enabled, it assigns the Enertex
®
EibPC
an IP address. Now, this address must be disclosed to the Enertex
®
EibStudio. In this case, this can be done
automatically, i. e. the Enertex
®
EibStudio finds the Enertex
®
EibPC within the net on its own. If you want to use more
than one Enertex
®
EibPC in the home network, you should work with fixed IP addresses, as described on page 135.
If your router has no DHCP function, the Enertex
®
EibPC takes this role and adopts its own IP
address, which you can retrieve from the Enertex
®
EibStudio (see below for more). This requires that
any used firewall is configured correctly. If you want to work with a fixed IP address, please read on
from page 135. With direct connection to your PC (peer-to-peer) you need a crossover cable.
The included software Enertex
®
EibStudio is simply started by double-clicking. There is no
installation in the conventional sense. For example, Enertex
®
EibStudio does not edit the Windows
®
registry.
Figure 1: Configuration of Windows
®
-Firewall
Important: An active firewall possibly presents the communication between the Enertex
®
EibStudio and the Enertex
®
EibPC.
When you query the IP address of your EibPC for the first time with the button
Automatic
of the
dialog according to Figure 3, the Windows
®
-Firewall reports a message. In this message you have to
allow the program nconf, which is responsible for LAN communication of Enertex
®
EibStudio , the
access on the LAN. With it Windows
®
applies an automatic exception for the firewall. In this case you
need not set additional settings in your Windows
®
firewall. So, the procedure shown in Figure 1 can
be skipped.
Various security software packages may prevent a program from loading into the Enertex® EibPC.
Windows 8.1 users are especially affected. In addition to the firewall problems, file permissions are
also relevant. The security software sometimes does not allow EibStudio to create subdirectories in
the "Programs" folder. This is not possible even if you change the corresponding settings. There are
two ways to get around this:
1.
Copy Eibstudio to your desktop or user directory and run it there.
2.
Run EibStudio from the program directory with the "-D-directory" parameter, where
directory must be a path in your user directory, e.g. Download. To start a program with a
parameter, you must first create a link to this file (here, EibStudioVx_xxx.exe) and then
enter the parameters in the link.
