Checking that instances of Pandad can communicate

In Interactive Mode, you can use the list command to contact other instances of Pandad on the network. The output from this command will determine whether the Pandad instances can be reached and help you check that your Pandad configuration and your network configuration are working.

Tip: You can type help to display a list of available commands.

To check that instances of Pandad can communicate

  1. Open Windows Explorer, and then navigate to the NWare installation folder.
  2. Double-click pandad.exe to start Pandad in Interactive Mode.
  3. Type list.

    First of all, Pandad will return information about the local instance of Pandad, i.e. the one running on your PC that you are now using in Interactive Mode:

    local keys : 1

    10.18.16.139/pandad/debug_menu_v1

    Next, Pandad displays information about other instances of Pandad on the network - on PCs and also on MediaMatrix nodes:

    remote keys :

    remote 10.18.16.110 1

    10.18.16.110/pandad/debug_menu_v1

    remote 10.18.16.116 1

    10.18.16.116/pandad/debug_menu_v1

    remote 10.18.16.120 47

    ...

  4. Check that the IP addresses of all the PCs and nodes you want NWare and NWare Kiosk users to work with are shown.
