Micro Innovations M000174-19 manual Access to Micro Panel, Name Resolution Cehosts

Windows CE Ethernet

•The net use command connects or disconnects the MICRO PANEL with an enabled resource. The connection of resources is not absolutely necessary, but is nevertheless recommended. This has the advantage that access from the application is always the same, irrespective of the computer, directory or printer name. The command syntax is as follows: net use «locale name» \\«computer name»\«enable name»

«Computer name» is the network name of the computer, «enable name» is the enabled resource and «local name» is the NETWORK subdirectory on the MICRO PANEL. After executing the command, the resource is accessed using \network\«local name». When no parameters are given, net use displays a list of the network connections.

Note:

Further information on the MS-DOS commands «net view» and «net use»are provided in PC manuals. Calling the command with the parameter «–?» will display the relevant command syntax.

2.2ACCESS TO MICRO PANEL

The following options are available for accessing the MICRO PANEL:

•FTP Server

•ActiveSync connection

•Remote server

Note:

Directory enables can be used to make access to an external server/PC possible from the MICRO PANEL. Access from the server/PC to the MICRO PANEL is possible with Windows CE 5.0 (see File server).

2.3NAME RESOLUTION (CEHOSTS)

This command line program is used for the name resolution in TCP/IP networks. NetBIOS names are resolved to the IP addresses. The devices/stations are always addressed in a TCP/IP network using IP addresses. The name resolution is used to enable devices in the network to be addressed also with a name. The command line call is as follows:

cehosts.exe –a «IP address» -n «Name»

For example, the call «cehosts.exe -a 192.168.1.1 –n MY_PC» resolves the name «MY_PC» to the IP address 192.168.1.1. See also chapter Access to PC and Printing via Ethernet.

Note:

These settings are not retained after the device is restarted. The name resolution function is not active with CEHosts when accessing enabled drives or printers on PCs with the Windows operating system, see also chapter Access to PC.
