NETWORK (procedures)

0.4 Network and Software Procedures

0.4.1 Preparing the Network

• 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 Network and Software Procedures#0.4.2 SERVER

0.4.2 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.

0.4.3 Software Version

The current version of the software is ORBIT5S.

0.4.4 Software Locations

A full set of software should be available at C:\Orbit\ on all Spacesim PCs.

Alternatively, the software can be downloaded from Dr. Magwood's Website

Troubleshooting

If a full set of software is not found on a single PC at Spacesim

• Notify the Engineering Commander
• Preserve any save files
• Delete the partial set
• Copy a full set from another PC over the network

If a full set cannot be found on any PC at Spacesim

• Notify the Engineering Commander
• Request Internet Access from the Admiral
