Contents
Preparing the Network
These tasks should be accomplished by a Mission Control NETWORK officer prior to any mission
- Create a list of which computer will run which software during the Mission
- e.g. Grissom = MC EECOM
- On Fu in the Simulator Loft, find "My Network Places"
- Verify that all computers to be used have a mapped network drive in this location
- e.g. X:\Orbit on Cassini
- Note that the "drive letter" for this example is "X"
- Click each drive to activate it
- On Fu's desktop, start SERVER and proceed with SERVER Procedures
SERVER
- You will be prompted to give the letter corresponding to several mapped network drives
- Press Enter to keep the previous setting
Troubleshooting
- If any item in the list is Red
- Identify which piece of software is at issue
- Verify that the network drive that SERVER is using for that software is mapped to the correct computer
- If SERVER is pointing to the incorrect drive, restart SERVER, and enter the correct drive letter when prompted
- Verify that the mapped network drive is activated in My Network Places.
- If the drive has not been activated, activate it by double clicking it.
