If You
Are Connected To A System
This section will deal with what happens when you start the program and it is connected
to a WheatNet-IP System.
The first few steps will be the same as when not connected to a system. You may
encounter the default signal warning, and the first time you run the program you will
certainly encounter the license warning, unless you had an older copy of the program
already installed and licensed.
If you are connected to a system which contains a Blade with ID of 1 and the default
IP address of 192.168.87.101, your main screen will look like the one shown earlier, with
the exception that the ONLINE: indicator will be green rather than gray.
For the benefit of those who may have a system without a Blade of ID 1, or have their
system set up on a different network subnet, the next step will be to change the IP address
that the program looks for its host Blade at.
Set IP Address
There are two different ways to change the Blade that the program will connect to.
From the menu, select
File>Set IP Address...
to bring up the following form:
Note that the form indicates the current setting. Change the address information to that
of the Blade you will use to host the Scheduler:
For convenience you can type a name in the
Name
field. The name is not actually used.
Once the IP address is entered, click Apply
. You will be prompted to restart the
WheatNet‑IP Scheduler Program before your new IP address will take effect.
