Once you have installed the Eclipse Network File Utility on the PCs where it will be used, configure the settings for each utility running. Use the Network File Utility Maintenance screen to specify which network file utility services you have running on your network.
The system selects the most efficient service when transferring files. To utilize this feature, set up the proper branches on the Network File Utility Maintenance screen and set up local branches on the Document Storage Location Maintenance screen.
To configure the Eclipse Network File Utility:
From the System > System Files menu, select Eclipse Network File Utility to display the Network File Utility Maintenance screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
In the Stat column, for each designated NT server, press F10 and select whether to enable or disable the utility for that server. You must enable at least one utility within your network. Otherwise, you will see errors when you try to write and retrieve images. Enable at least one utility for each branch.
On - Enables the utility.
Off - Disables the utility.
In the Brch field, enter the branch where the service is running. The system uses this branch to find the most efficient service to perform an action.
In the Host/IP field, specify the machine name or the IP address of the NT server that runs the Eclipse Network File Utility.
In the Port field, enter the port number on the server where the service is running.
If running the utility as a service, go to the Microsoft Service Management screen to find the port number.
If running the utility as a program, click the handshake icon displayed in your system tray to find the port number.
Note: When you install the Eclipse Network File Utility on your server, the system displays the port number to use as a default. You can change that port number as needed.
Use the Edit Functions hot key to enable the utility service functions.
The Enabled Functions field displays the functions that you enabled for the utility. If more functions are enabled than the system can display in this field, an ellipsis (...) follows the last entry.
Use the following hot keys as needed:
Hot Key | Description |
Description | Displays the Service Description screen, where you can record miscellaneous information about the designated NT server. |
Edit Functions | Displays the Service Functions screen, where you can view, enable, or disable the functions that the indicated service will perform. |
Select | Displays the Select Criteria screen, which you can use to filter the list of the NT servers displayed on the Network File Utility Maintenance screen. Enter data in any of the following fields and press Esc:
|
Copy | Copies the settings assigned for one Host/IP to a new line. You must then:
|
Update | Retrieves the latest version of the utility from the host and updates the utility on the selected server. |
Version | Displays the version number of the utility running on the selected server.
|
Printers | Displays a list of printers connected to the selected server, if it is running the utility as a program. |
Press Esc to save any changes and exit the Network File Utility Maintenance screen.
