Establishing The Network; Connecting And Sharing Output Devices - Gerber OMEGA CP Reference Manual

736 Chapter 67:
Setting Up the GSP Network
The GSP system identification number is located at the top of the box. The system identification
number in this example is:
GSPCFF15E20.1322.C520.0000.0004*2.5.0.23
The system serial number is immediately below it. In this example, the serial number is 797267.
Your system identification number and serial number will vary.

Establishing the network

To establish the network, you need to:
♦ Decide how you want your network set up.
♦ Interconnect the computers.
♦ Load networking software, if necessary.

Connecting and sharing output devices

To set up the GSP OMEGA network, you'll need to first physically connect the output devices
(plotters, Gerber thermal printers, and inkjet printers) to the workstations. Refer to the owner's
manuals that came with the output devices for instructions.
After the output devices are physically connected to the workstations, you are ready to establish
a network connection between the devices. You must have a working peer-to-peer network
between two systems with OMEGA software running on both computers. A peer network exists
when workstations on the network:
♦ can operate as servers
♦ share resources
♦ run other applications such as OMEGA
