Submit Answers using the Online "Network Integration Form" - http://roos.com/form_network.html
Site Section
All RI systems have a serial number and common name used to identify it on the network and when shared with RI to provide reliable support. RI recommends a 2 to 4 letter abbreviation with a 1 to 3 digit number. Please avoid "Roos" or "RI" as the name conflict with other sites. If you already have RI Systems, we will continue to use the existing naming convention.
- Site Abbreviation (Customer ID) and/or Host Naming Convention
Domain Name
Do the developer's workstations (desktops/laptops) have network access to the test floor? (RiGuru TCP Port 50000 in/out)
Do the workstations have access to Roos Instruments (guru.roos.com) via the internet? (RiGuru TCP port 50000)
Does the test floor have HTTP(S) access to www.roos.com via the Internet? (TCP port 80)
Does the test floor have OUTBOUND access Roos Instruments (guru.roos.com:50000) via the Internet? (RiGuru TCP port 50000)
Does the test floor allow INBOUND internet connections from Roos Instruments? (TCP VNC port <random> from hub1.roos.com via Internet or VPN)
CASSINI Section
Impact: One Dynamic or Static IP per RI ATE system, DNS host entries: "conw01" (matching hostname of system), Firewall or Proxy support for Guru (tcp 50000), VNC (tcp 5900), or FTP (tcp 21)

Static IP Address Details
Only needed if "Static IP" is selected above.
- IP Address(es):
Subnet Mask
Default Route
DNS (provide at least 2)
Cassini Network Connections (Shared Drives, Printers)
RI system controller can be connected to an appropriately configured SMB/Samba, NSF, or FTP based network resource to distribute data files and print, it can NOT join a Windows Domain or Active Directory based network. PostScript or LaserJet network printers can be used via Parallel, USB, or a LDP/LPR network connection. Note: Cassini gets updates via Guru, so a network connection from the developers workstation to the Cassini is not required.
- Network Drives?
LDP/LPR Network Printer?

LDP/LPR Queue:
Enable FTP server?
FTP Username/Password:
FTP Path to Share:
Cassini Remote Access to System (VNC)
RI System controller can be configured with VNC access to allow direct control of the system remotely from the local network or the Internet (requires proxy and/or firewall configuration). For more information, search RI Documentation (http://roos.com/help) for “Using VNC on Cassini”.
- Enable VNC server?
Connect to test floor via VPN or direct Internet connection?
VNC TCP port
VNC Password
VNC Allowed IP Range
Cassini User Account Security
- Please ask any OTHER questions or concerns about Cassini?
GURU Server Section
Impact: 1 Static IPs and/or DNS hosts: "guru", Optional outbound Firewall TCP port 50000 (Guru) and 123 (NTP).
- Guru Network Configuration:
- Guru Server Hostname (if DHCP) or IP address:
Customer Provided Virtual Machine Host
Customer Provided Physical Hardware OS Name & Version:
Guru NTP host(s)
Guru based RI Software Updates
- Use Guru based RI Software Updates?
Guru Enterprise (Optional)
Guru Enterprise can use version control to distribute developer test plans and backup test data between different geographic locations. Communication should be enabled through a network provided secure connection (VPN or SSH tunnel) to the remote host. A pair of Guru Backup servers are needed at each geographic location to provide timely recovery in case of a critical RI system controller failure. A primary guru server is mirrored with a backup to allow complete disaster recovery of the guru server itself, all Cassini systems and virtual workstations.
- Guru Enterprise Hostnames:

Please ask any OTHER questions or concerns about Guru Server?
Virtual Workstation Section
Impact: No additional IPs required. Workstation's VPN is used for remote access to a Guru Server. Administrator must install VirtualBox on each users' workstation.
VirtualBox
The current version of VirtualBox must be installed on the Designer's workstation with Administrator access on any hardware with a processor that supports VT-x or AMD-v. Virtual Machines use NAT to connect to the network and can use FQDN host names (i.e. guru.company.com) or IP address to connect to the Guru Server. Download VirtualBox from here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Virtualbox License FAQ: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ Additional eCS and Guru IDs may be purchased from RI: http://roos.com/parts/RIK0126A RI Virtual Workstation image is delivered as a 'virtualbox appliance' (.ova) via physical media (DVD) and must be initialized at the customer site with the provided Guru IDs (floppy disk images).
Please ask any OTHER questions or concerns about the Virtual Workstation?
Please view the RI System Software Network and Data Integration Guide for more information about terms and configuration options. Contact [email protected] or call 408-748-8589 for assistance.
The form is organized into 4 sections: Site, Cassini, Guru Servers, and Virtual Workstations. Each section's heading describes what aspects of the network configuration is impacted by the questions in that section. Please feel free to supplement any information with the comments at the end.

System Naming Convention (Per Site):
All RI systems have a serial number and common name used to identify it on the network and when shared with RI to provide reliable support. RI recommends a name of no more than 8 characters. Please avoid "Roos" or "RI" as the name may conflict with other sites. If you already have RI Systems, we will continue to use the existing naming convention.

GURU
Impact: 2 Static IPs and/or DNS hosts: "guru" and "guru2", Optional outbound Firewall TCP port 50000 (Guru) and 13 (Daytime).
Guru Network Configuration:
All Cassini embedded system controllers use RI's Guru Backup Server for disaster recovery. A pair of Guru Backup servers are needed at each geographic location to provide timely recovery in case of a critical RI system controller failure. A primary guru server is mirrored with a backup to allow complete disaster recovery of the guru server itself, all cassini systems and virtual workstations. RI provides an installed and configured Guru Server image or file package to be installed on any typical customer provided desktop/server class hardware (minimum hw: 2Ghz x86 32-bit, 2 Gig Ram, 1 TB HDD, Gig Ethernet) with OpenSuse 10+ or SLES 10+ Linux operating system (other Linux variants possible, please contact [email protected]). Virtualization is also an option, pending a on-site performance review.

The alternative is to receive software updates via email and manually import them into the Guru Server or directly to the RI System Controller.
Provide Guru based RI Software Updates: YES or NO
Provide automatic RI Software Updates: YES or NO (Note: Software Updates require valid support package.)

License Details: Free for Personal Use (GPLv2) FAQ
FAQ explaining how it can be installed for personal use at a Corporate Environment
6. What exactly do you mean by personal use and academic use in the Personal Use and Evaluation License?
Personal use is when you install the product on one or more PCs yourself and you make use of it (or even your friend, sister and grandmother). It doesn't matter whether you just use it for fun or run your multi-million euro business with it. Also, if you install it on your work PC at some large company, this is still personal use.
