Sequoia Network Admin Setup

Problem/Question

Recommended Windows 10 network configuration for Ergosoft 16 Sequoia

Solution/Work-Around

Important!

The following instructions should in any case be carried out by a network and PC administrator!

Ergosoft accepts no liability or responsibility for correctness and completeness!

Workgroup / Domain: the same for all PCs

Setup:

Click on Start > Enter "Change workgroup name".
Open Control Panel App
Click <Change> button
Assign same workgroup name for all

Note: In larger companies, it may not be possible to change the workgroup name yourself. An admin is required for this.

Note: Domain computers also work with SEQ. This is set up by the admin in larger companies.

IP addresses: Use static for all PCs and printers (recommended)

Setup:

Goto Windows Settings > Network and Internet > Ethernet
Click "Change adapter option"
Select network connection > right mouse button > Properties
Select Internet Protocol, Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties
Select Manual Input

Note: The use of two separate networks works without any problems. It must only be ensured that access with read/write rights to the master dongle and the shared storage folder works.

Named: give each PC its own name for use in the Sequoia configuration.

Setup:

Goto Windows Settings > System > About
Click <Rename this PC>
Assign a unique name (e.g.: Customer name-Master or -Client01)

Network: Profile should be set to Private (default)

Setup:

Goto Windows Settings > Network and Internet > Status
Click the <Property> button under the active network connection
Set network profile to "Private"

Note: In larger organisations where Domain PCs are used, the Domain network profile must be used. The setup is the same as under "Private"

Network: Enable detection

Setup:

Goto Windows Settings > Network and Internet > Ethernet
Click on "Change advanced sharing options"
In the sharing options in the private profile (should be marked as current), switch on <network discovery>
In addition, check the box "Automatic setup of devices..."
Save the change (admin password may be required)

Note: In larger companies where Domain PCs are used, the sharing options for the domain must be set. The setup is the same as under "Private"

Note: After all points have been set up, a restart is required!

Network: all necessary PCs must be accessible in the network

Control:

Goto Windows File Explorer > Network
After setting up the above, all PCs belonging to the Sequoia network should be visible (names)

Sharing: Dongle Sharing

Setup: > follow the Ergosoft 16 Network Installation / Sequoia article at the Ergosoft Documentation Portal

Note: Under the <Advanced Share> this can be set up in a defined way. Admin rights are required!

Sequoia Note: When querying the dongle via a remote PC, the master must be available in the list!
