All the CIC Pro centers connected to the CARESCAPE Network IX and MC
networks must comply with the following configuration requirements:

All devices must have the same time zone settings.

The Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes check box
must remain UNCHECKED at all times.
 All MC network IP addresses must be in the same IP scheme with the same
subnet mask.

All IX network IP addresses must be in the same IP scheme with the same subnet
mask.

In the hierarchy of multiple compatible CIC Pro center hardware and software
versions that co-exist, it is important to assign a set of the highest MC network IP
addresses to the highest software version. For example, if you are installing CIC
v5.1.x to an existing CARESCAPE Network comprising of CIC v4.0.7 or later,
you must allocate a set of the highest MC network IP addresses to all of the CIC
Pro center's hardware running CIC v5.1.x. No lower version CIC Pro center can
have an IP address on the MC network that is greater than the IP address of a
higher version CIC Pro center.
Use the Check Centrals utility to check for the following on all the CIC Pro centers on
the network:

Time zone settings

Daylight saving time (DST) status
 CARESCAPE Network IP address errors
 Status of 4.1.1-1 patch application on CIC Pro center v4.1.1 (available only with
the release of CIC Pro center v5.0.7 or later)
NOTE

The Check Centrals utility does not discover any version of Central Scope.
 The Check Centrals utility will discover CIC Pro center hardware running
v1.5, but will not report its IP configuration information. This means that
you must physically locate these devices if they exist on the network. Please
read step 5 on page 6-5.
 The Check Centrals utility will not discover any non-CIC Pro center device
(e.g., printers, Aware Gateway, PDS) on the network.
The Check Centrals utility is also supplied separately. (For the part number of the
Check Centrals utility, see
page 9-6.) You can run the utility directly from the CD on BCM and Nightshade
platforms. However, this utility must be copied from the CD to an NTFS formatted
USB memory stick for use on Bedrock platforms (v4.1.1 and greater).
