Connecting to a shared

Sharing directories on
Matrox 4Sight
Matrox 4Sight to shared directories. This section describes how
to achieve a connection between a Matrox 4Sight unit and
another Windows NT network-connected computer.
To achieve a connection, the Matrox 4Sight unit must be able
to communicate with the development computer through a
TCP/IP network communication channel. Note that network
components must be installed on both the Matrox 4Sight unit
and the development computer. The network component is
already installed in the version of Windows NT Embedded that
is shipped with Matrox 4Sight.
Connect, share, and map drives from a Windows NT
development computer as you normally would, using Explorer.
From the Windows NT Embedded command prompt window,
you can easily connect to a shared directory on a Windows NT
Workstation development computer using the Net utility
(NET.EXE). This utility allows you to mount logical drives to
remote computers, so that files can be accessed by Matrox
4Sight. On the Matrox 4Sight unit running Windows NT
Embedded, type at the prompt:
NET USE Drive: \\MachineName\\ShareName /USER:User_Account
Replace MachineName with the name of the Windows NT
Workstation development computer to which you want to
connect and change ShareName to the name of the required,
shared directory. To correctly identify yourself to the
development computer, replace User_Account with your proper
user account, as known by the development computer. Your
user account password will be required during the connection.
To share a directory on the Matrox 4Sight unit running
Windows NT Embedded, type at the prompt:
NET SHARE ShareName=Drive:\Path
Change Drive and Path to that of the directory to share on the
Matrox 4Sight unit. Change ShareName to the name to
associate with the specified directory (that is, the shared
resource name).
