7.2.4 T20 RDR on an external computer in a local
network (E.g. Workgroup)
The processor for the T20 is named Portable Sonar Processor (PSP).The
PSP has no connection for a monitor, keyboard/mouse. Configuration of
the PSP could be done by a remote desktop connection from an external
computer. The SUI needs also to be run from an external computer. The
external computer is connected by an Ethernet connection to the PSP. In
this discussed scheme the RDR will also be on this external computer.
The PSP is set up to acquire a DHCP IP address (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). If no DHCP server is found after several minutes
of searching on the network the two Ethernet ports of the T20-P will be by
default select the static IP addresses 10.11.10.1 (Ethernet port 1) and
10.11.10.2 (Ethernet port 2).
It is therefore recommended to set up the external computer in the
10.11.10.x range.

T20 RDR to external computer.
Four steps needs to perform to configure the RDR:
1. Set the IP number of the computer in the 10.11.10.x range. (Do
not use 10.11.10.1 and 10.11.10.2 as these are used by the
PSP.) See section ‘Setup correct IP address and Subnet mask’
on page 100.
2. Create a workgroup. The workgroup of the PSP is default
‘RESON’. It is not really needed to set up a workgroup, but
computer names in the network are possibly not listed when not
done. See section ‘Create a workgroup’ on page 98.for the
procedure to create a new or change an existing workgroup.
3. Share the external computer folder on which the RDR needs to
log. See section
‘File sharing’ on page 102.for the procedure.
4. Select the records to be logged and select the created shared
folder in the SUI’s recording pane. See section ‘SUI record and
file path selection’ on page 107 for more details.
When an additional storage device is connected to the external
computer, it is just a matter to make also this device accessible by
sharing it in the network. (Same procedure as for the external
computer)
