server
Background information
The secretary (or clerk) should use the Meeting Application on his/her PC to prepare
meetings. If the secretary's PC is in a different VLAN than the DICENTIS server, the Meeting
Application cannot find the DICENTIS server. This is because the DICENTIS devices and the
Meeting Application use the DNS-SD protocol, which does not work between different VLANs.
If necessary, the technician should use the following procedure to configure the Meeting
Application on the secretary's PC so that it can communicate with the DICENTIS server.
Procedure

Ping the DICENTIS server:
– Click the Start logo.
– Type command in the search field, and then choose Command Prompt under
Programs.
– Type ping [hostname of the DICENTIS server].
– Press Enter to ping the DICENTIS server.
If you are unable to ping the DICENTIS server, you might require assistance from your
local IT department. If you still cannot ping the DICENTIS server, the IP address can be
used instead. However, this is not preferred because IP-addresses may change.
Create a shortcut of the Meeting application on the desktop (use the
Bosch.Dcnm.UserInterfaces.MeetingManager.exe file from the C:Program Files
(x86)BoschDICENTIS directory).
Right‑click on the shortcut, and select Properties.
In the shortcut tab, update the target, by adding the server that the PC needs to connect
to:
– Usage: Bosch.Dcnm.Userinterfaces.MeetingManager.exe [/server 'servername']
/server Optional parameter with the hostname or IP address of the DCNM server
– Example: Bosch.Dcnm.Userinterfaces.MeetingManager.exe /server
COMPUTERNAME.network.com
Double‑click the shortcut. You will be able to connect to the remote server from the
Meeting application.
/window: Starts the meeting manager in a window (instead of full screen).
/?: Displays a message box with the description of the command line arguments.
Edit the following file: Bosch.Dcnm.Services.DeviceService.Main.exe.config located in:
C:\Program Files\Bosch\DICENTIS
Change:
<add key="OcpControlSecurityForced" value="true"/>
Into:
<add key="OcpControlSecurityForced" value="false"/>
Restart services using the server console
