Description
Because XchangeIT (used with Neeto to send/receive files) software requires one windows installation that runs internet explorer per client, we are forced to provide a windows XP virtual machine for each Neeto location. The XchangeIT client is actually just a browser based web application (that is why internet explorer is needed). They will provide us a response regarding as to why it is limited to one client per windows install. Note that to be legal, each windows VM should have its own license.
Important details of each VM
- 284mb of RAM
- 20GB Hard drive
- Preinstalled windows XP with xchangeit client already installed
- AVG Antivirus 2011
- In and Out directory already shared
- Firewall opened up to allow remote mounting of directories
Subnet
A new subnet had to be added. It is 192.168.241.x. A static IP will be set for each computer. DNS entries will be created in the format xit-[location]
Mounting on ABE
A sample entry for a location on abe:
//192.168.241.2/Source/In /u/ccr.13/NTOELWD/edi/In cifs defaults,credentials=/u/cc/usr/ccc/.smbcredentials 0 0 //192.168.241.2/Source/Out /u/ccr.13/NTOELWD/edi/Out cifs defaults,credentials=/u/cc/usr/ccc/.smbcredentials 0 0
For some reason, the address has to be specified in numeric format, using xit-elwood does not work. /u/cc/usr/ccc/.smbcredentials file conatins
username="ccc" password="notaspacesecret"
