Workstation Configuration Guidelines

If you are using the EPM 7700, EPM 7600 or EPM 7500 Meters in your PMCS

network, the following guidelines in this section must be adhered to before

continuing with the EPM configuration.

NOTE: If you are adding a PMCS installation to an existing network, please refer

your network administrator to GEH-6502, the PMCS Network Architecture Guide,

for integration details.

• Each computer in the network must be assigned a Windows NT

computer name. The name must be one to fifteen alphanumeric

characters in length. Spaces may not be used, and the first character of

the computer name may not be numeric.

• The System Control Panel should have the Performance Boost for

Foreground Application value set to None, and a paging file should be

created on the C: drive with the Initial and Maximum sizes set to twice

the workstation’s installed RAM.

• The Network Control Panel’s Adapter tab should have the MS

Loopback adapter installed if a physical network adapter is not installed

in the workstation. Under the Protocols tab, TCP/IP or NetBEUI should

be installed; if TCP/IP is installed, use IP address 192.168.100.xxx and

subnet mask 255.255.255.0 unless your network administrator has

assigned you an IP address. Under the Services tab, install Remote

Access Server (RAS) and configure it by enabling NetBEUI (if using

NetBEUI or, if TCP/IP is used, assign two or more IP addresses,

starting at xxx.xxx.xxx.254 and working down. Set RAS to start

automatically and set access to “entire network” (if available).
