Using the New Settings 

Use the following steps to update the system with the new network parameters: 

1.

 

Reboot the hardware to force the system to use the new setting(s). 

2.

 

Find the 

tdas.ini

 file in the TDAS Control program folder (normally c:\dts_tdas) 

and make a back-up copy called 

tdas_backup.ini

3.

 

Edit the file 

tdas.ini

 using Notepad or any text editor. 

4.

 

Find the line titled 

“Rack Inventory”

 and change the IP address associated with 

the serial number for the TDAS G5 DAS to the new address.  

Note:  Change only 

the IP address and not the 

DAS unit’s

 serial number.

  This is how the software will 

know how to search for the DAS at the new IP address. 

5.

 

Save the file. 

6.

 

Confirm  your  computer’s  Windows/network  settings  match  the  new  TDAS

  G5 

network parameter(s).  If changes are required to your computer, please contact 

your network administrator for assistance. 

7.

 

Start the TDAS Control software and confirm that the TDAS G5 DAS is found at 

the new IP address.
