Setting up PCs on a Network

If you have computers running on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP/2000/NT4.0, Windows 95/98 that communicate with NEC Express5800/ft series using the TCP/IP protocol, make the following settings on all computers.

1.Copy the following in the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM or ft control software, UPDATE CD-ROM to any directory.

\STRATUS\LANG\EN\PROG\FTREG.EXE

TIPS: ft Update CD is for updating ft control software. It may not be attached to the product. If software included in the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM is latest at the time of shipment, the ft Update CD is not attached.

2.Start up the command prompt and enter the directory in which the file mentioned above is copied, and then enter the following command.

FTREG.EXE

This setting is to avoid a timeout caused by non-communication state between the NEC Express5800/ft series and computers connected by the LAN protocol that may occur immediately after the NEC Express5800/ft series startup or a CPU module reinstallation (dual processing).

Non-communication time immediately after the NEC Express5800/ft series startup or module reinstallation in the system where Windows Server 2003 runs is proportional to the size of memory mounted and how much applications running use memory.

Because minimum non-communication time is momentary regardless of size of the memory installed, it will not be considered as non-communication. Maximum non-communication time by the memory size is as follows:

Memory size	Non-communication time
256MB	About 3.1 seconds
512MB	About 6.2 seconds
1GB	About 12.3 seconds
2GB	About 24.7 seconds
3GB	About 36.3 seconds
6GB	About 47.0 seconds

This setup program sets the following Windows registry:

Windows XP/Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003:

Registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters Values: TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions
