Networker for SN10X Software Installation
(All rights reserved)
===============================
Warning: No Dmx Activity
DMX Output Suppressed
Connect a single SN104, SN103 node to a ShowNet network and use IOFTPDOS or IOFTP32
to determine the software version number for these nodes. The ‘who’ command displays the
software version of each node.
Floppy Disk Installation
Only possible on the SN100 and SN102 nodes; the other Networker models are supplied
without floppy disk drives, see next section for install instructions for those units. The disk to
use is the Networker Operating Software disk included in console operating software
packages. If you received the installation files by E-Mail, copy them to a DOS floppy disk (high
density, 1.44Mb) and make it bootable using the following DOS command:
>SYS C: A:
Assuming that your PC’s system files are in drive C: and the floppy drive is named A:. New
releases supplied by Strand on floppy disk are already bootable. Then to verify the integrity of
the installation disk, run the crccheck utility from DOS as follows:
>A:
>CRCCHECK
To preserve the 220NODE.CFG configuration file, you can create a file called RECOVER.BAT
on a PC, then copy it to a floppy disk for copying to the C:\220OS directory on the Networker.
When ready to do this, you must connect a keyboard and monitor to the Networker, power the
unit up, then press Ctrl and X to get back to DOS. The file should contain:
COPY 220NODE.OLD 220NODE.CFG /V /Y
If you are upgrading a Networker which contains a release earlier than Beta 2v0, then you may
need to manually create a new 220NODE.CFG as the format has changed. In that case delete
the batch file RECOVER.BAT, make a temporary copy so that DMX in/out info and the IP
address can be transferred to the default 220NODE.CFG which is created as part of the
installation process. Then the latest software can be installed by inserting the release disk in
the floppy drive and rebooting the Networker by
either typing CTRL, ALT & DEL keys on the keyboard simultaneously or pressing the recessed
RESET switch using a pen.
On completion of installation, you will be prompted to reset the SN10X again so that the new
