This sectiondescribes the additional part for configuring a distributed system.On the one hand, the additional sections in the configuration of a distributed system contain the specification ofthe sub-net and on the other hand, the successive parameterization of every individual rendering machine.Sub-netIndicate the transmission rate of the sub-net network card and the desired interface type!Configuring Distributed X-Server's Subnet==========================================You want to install the Distributed Server thereforeadditional configuring values are needed:- Setting Subnet Network Interface Card (only for 10 MBit Card)- Engines' Subnet- Engines' IP-Address- Engines' Multiscreen ArrangementThe IP address of the sub-net network card of the central device must be specified identical to the IP addressspecified with linuxconf.

For every renderingFor every renderingmachine, the arrangement of the Barco projection modules is indicated in the following form:xHere and give the number of columns and rows. For example:4x24 monitors next to each other, 2 monitors on top of each other.For every rendering machine, the position of the projection modules, that is the position of the upper left moduleis indicated, in the following form:,Here and give the horizontal and vertical position within the display wall starting with the upper leftmodule as 0,0.0,0 4,04×2 4×2Figure3-49For each rendering machine a unique IP address within the specified sub-net must be provided. In addition theEthernet addresses of the rendering machines’ network cards must be entered. The Ethernet address is printedon a label on the network card. For example:EA=00.60.97.78.29.0a00.60.97.78.29.0aAs well the Ethernet address can be read from the output during the boot process.
