Chapter 8: Preparing an RT node
Building remote node boot/installation floppies
1. Start the INtime Configuration Panel and select Remote Node Builder. The INtime
Remote Node Configuration dialog displays.
2. Click the Add button. The Remote Node Configuration dialog displays.
3. Complete the fields in the dialog. You can configure either of these:
• Statically-addressed node, where you specify each end of the connection. To
choose this option, check the Make Connection checkbox to ensure that you
configure a connection for your remote node.
Note
To detect dynamic remote nodes, you must also install Bonjour for windows. You can find
a download of this program by searching for “Bonjour for Windws” at www.apple.com.
• Dynamically-addressed node, where the RT node and the Windows’ INtime
mDNS Service cooperate to generate a link configuration on the fly.
4. Click the Apply button. The Remote Node Configuration applet displays.
5. Click the Build button to generate the files.
6. Build RT node installation/boot floppy disks:
A. Double-click the bldflpys.bat file and follow the directions when prompted.
This file builds two floppy disks that you use to boot/install the RT subsystem.
B. Ensure that no error messages display while the batch file builds the floppies
and name (label) the floppy disks when prompted during each FORMAT
operation.
C. Label the floppies as follows:
If you selected “Floppy” as the Boot Media in step 3 (on page 77), label the two
floppy disks as follows:
Floppy 1: Boot floppy
Floppy 2: Commands floppy
If you selected any other option for Boot Media in step 3, label the two floppy
disks as follows:
Floppy 1: Installation Floppy 1
Floppy 2: Installation Floppy 2
