4.7 OS settings

This section explains the OS settings required in order to use OpenTP1 for Windows.

Organization of this section
(1) TCP/IP settings
(2) Windows Firewall settings
(3) Computer name settings

(1) TCP/IP settings

In an environment that uses multiple network interface cards (NICs), a list of IP addresses is returned in TCP/IP bind order. You must change the bind order so that the NIC used by OpenTP1 has top priority.

You change the bind order by choosing Bind LAN from Control Panel.

(2) Windows Firewall settings

If you specify Windows Firewall settings, enter the following commands from the command prompt:

for %p in ("%DCDIR%\bin\*.exe") do (netsh firewall add allowedprogram program="%p" name="OpenTP1" scope=ALL)
for %p in ("%DCDIR%\lib\servers\*.exe") do (netsh firewall add allowedprogram program="%p" name="OpenTP1" scope=ALL)
for %p in ("%DCDIR%\aplib\*.exe") do (netsh firewall add allowedprogram program="%p" name="OpenTP1 UAP" scope=ALL)

The following notes apply to the Windows Firewall settings:

(3) Computer name settings

Do not use Administrators as the full name of a computer on which OpenTP1 is run.
