SECTION 1: OVERVIEW
WHAT IS SIM 3 REMOTE?
SIM 3 Remote is an application that makes it possible to control SIM 3 hardware on a remote computer via an Ethernet
network. Before using SIM 3 Remote it is important to note that SIM 3 Remote is not a standalone measurement software
and does not do anything without connection to actual SIM 3 hardware.
For simplicity we will refer to the SIM 3 machine as the local computer and the laptop/desktop as the remote
computer.
SIM 3 Remote is single client only: multiple clients cannot connect to the SIM 3 hardware at the same time.
SIM 3 Remote comes as a bootable live CD. This CD will not make any permanent changes to the SIM 3 machine. When
the SIM is booted without the disc it will be in its normal state.
SIM 3 Remote has been developed as a temporary solution in order to provide added mobility for current SIM 3 systems
while a fully integrated version of the SIM 3 software is currently under development.

ACQUIRING THE SOFTWARE CD AND X11 UTILITIES

Network Infrastructure
In order to setup SIM 3 Remote an Ethernet 100Mbps or faster network needs to be created. While it is much easier to
have this set as a wired network SIM 3 Remote really becomes much more flexible when used in a wireless network.
To set up a wireless network the following equipment will be required:
• Wireless router capable of 802.11g or better (Linksys WRT-54GC)
• CAT5 or better cabling
SIM 3 BIOS Modification
If you want to use SIM 3 Remote you may ship the SIM 3 machine without a keyboard, mouse and monitor. To do so you
need to enter the SIM 3 BIOS by pressing F1 at start up and under Start-up options/POST Error handling change from
“Invoke Setup” to “Ignore all“. Exit the bios saving your options.
NOTE: Shipping a SIM 3 machine without a keyboard, mouse and monitor while relying on SIM 3 Remote will
leave you no options if the CDROM drive gets damaged during transportation. So even if you don’t pack the
keyboard, mouse and monitor in the same rack it is advisable to have it on stand by in another flight case or at
least carry a USB to PS2 adapter for both the keyboard and mouse. This way you will be able to use another computer’s
keyboard, mouse and monitor to use or troubleshoot your SIM 3 machine.
Step 1: After pressing <F1> to invoke setup the Main Menu will appear.
Use the up/down arrow keys to select “Start-Up Options” and press <Enter>

WIRELESS ROUTER SETUP
1. Enter the router basic setup page (refer to router user guide) and set the following parameters:
• Router IP address to 192.168.1.1
• Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
• DHCP Enabled
• Router DHCP starting IP address to 192.168.1.210
• Maximum number of DHCP users to 10
Remember to click the Save Settings button in order to implement these changes.
If the IP address of the router is changed you will need to reconnect.
SECTION 3: SETUP

2. Go to the Wireless Setup / Basic Wireless Settings page and set the following parameters:
• Mode to G-only.
(If both router and remote computer are capable of 802.11n then N-only should be selected. Using 802.11b will result
in a very slow connection so unless it is the only available possibility it should be avoided.)
• Router SSID to MSLI
• Disable SSID broadcast
Remember to click the Save Settings button in order to implement these changes.
3. Go to the Wireless Setup/ Wireless Security page set the following parameter:
• Security mode to Disabled
Remember to click the Save Settings button in order to implement these changes.
