Chapter 4 - ISIS TC/IP Address Configuration
Windows XP SP2 Firewall
A new Firewall feature has been added to Windows XP SP2. While this is convenient for home internet machines
(for example), it is desirable to turn it off for media production networking needs. So, provided all necessary secu-
rity has been addressed, either by an external Firewall unit, or by physically removing all Ethernet access to the
outside world, you can:
a) Disable Windows Firewall
Alternatively, if XP SP2 Firewall features are really necessary, keep it active, but:
b) Register ports 6000, 6001 and 6002 as exceptions of Windows Firewall for ISIS.
c) Register VT Server in Windows Firewall exceptions for VCube / Virtual Transport
TC/IP Address Configuration
At all times proper, individual, TCP-IP addresses for each machine are required, assigned either automatically
(DHCP, if available) or manually (Fixed IP), as described below.
When ISIS is powered up it will first attempt to configure its IP address from a DHCP server on the network. (E.g. a
router that incorporates a DHCP server.)
If there is no DHCP server able to assign an IP address, e.g. when there is a direct connection between the PC and
ISIS, the ISIS-RC will use a static IP address that has been saved internally.
Note: The static IP address will only be used if no other IP address has been automati-
cally assigned by DHCP.
Manual PC TC/IP Address Configuration
If no admin DHCP server is available, manually give each of your machines a unique TCP/IP number. Use Start >
Connect to > Show all connections to open the Network Connections dialog.
Note: In this case, a second NIC has been added for the direct ISIS connection.
