Introduction 1-5
Revision SE2005-2 Séance Interface 7975
419 &RPPXQLFDWLRQV#VHWXS
Séance and SAM communicate over an Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol.
In order for a successful connection to be made, each PC running SAM needs to know
an IP address and port number of the Séance box and the Séance needs to know the
IP address and port number for each computer running SAM. Individual IP addresses
must be different but the SAM port can be the same for each computer on the network.
The suggested settings are:
Séance IP address:194.222.033.010
Séance port:1111
PC1 IP address:194.222.033.011
PC2 IP address:194.222.033.012
SAM port:1112
SAM SETUP port:1113
Séance SETUP port:1114
When a Séance box is shipped from the factory the above settings are pre-set. Match-
ing settings are copied onto the PC the first time SAM is installed. If these values are
to be used for an installation, the only settings that need to be adjusted are PC1 and
PC2’s IP address on each PC. See
2.6.1 and 2.6.2 for details (Note: This procedure
needs be carried out before you continue.)
In order to have SAM communicating with a console, the network interface needs to
be set up, see below:
41: 6$0#VHW0XS=
1. SAM’s PC needs TCP/IP networking installed and an IP address allocated.
2. SAM needs to know the IP address of the Séance box (pre-set to
3. 194.222.33.10)
4. SAM needs to know the Séance box’s port number (pre-set to 1111)
5. SAM needs to be given a port number (pre-set to 1112)
41; 6pDQFH#VHW0XS=
1. Séance needs to be given a port number (pre-set to 1111)
2. Séance needs to know PC1’s IP address (pre-set to 194.222.33.11)
3. Séance needs to know PC2’s IP address (pre-set to 194.222.33.12)
4. Séance needs to know SAM’s port number (pre-set to 1112)
The set-up procedure is different depending on which operating system is used on the
PC. SAM can run under Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT. Each operating
system has it’s own set-up guide in the following pages.

Always use the following procedure:
■ ■ ■ ■ Power-up console
■ ■ ■ ■ Select PC1 on the CCM and power up the first computer. Wait until the PC1
computer has completed its boot-up routine, then...
■ ■ ■ ■ Switch to PC2 on the CCM and power-up the second computer and wait until it
has completed its boot-up routine.
■ ■ ■ ■ Power-up the Seance-box.
Once both computers have booted correctly, they should allow the keyboard and
monitor to be switched back and forth without problems.
If the overall cable length for the keyboard and monitor are very long (greater than
5m), it may be necessary to use a keyboard and a monitor booster unit to retain key-
board reliability and clean monitor display.
