Network Shares

Enterprise uses network file shares hosted on the Kiosk or other system to share files and information among other systems and tools. 

All users require read/write access to all folders and files located within the network share \\PypeServer\PypeServer Documents.
This file share hosts the shared files and documents accessed by all Enterprise users.

  1. \\PypeServer\PypeServer Documents
    1. Label templates
    2. Report templates
    3. Shared documents
All remote users require read access to all folders and files located within the network share \\PypeServer\PypeServer Staging.
The Kiosk user and/or other admin users who install Enterprise updates require read/write access to this share so they can download and save Enterprise package updates.
  1. \\PypeServer\PypeServer Staging
    1. Getting Started documentation
    2. Enterprise package updates
Users who generate or process NC machine files require read/write access to all folders and files located within machine specific shares created during the initial Enterprise setup.

    1. One or more share names created during configuration for storing NC machine files

    Troubleshooting

    1. Make sure the computers are on the same network. For example, if your computers connect to the Kiosk through a bridge or router, then confirm they all connect through the same router.
    2. Turn on network discovery and file and printer sharing, and turn off password protected sharing.
    3. Make sharing services start automatically.
      1. Press the Windows logo key  + R.
      2. In the Run dialog box, type services.msc, and then select OK.
      3. Right-click each of the following services, select Properties, if they're not running, select Start, and next to Startup type, select Automatic:
        1. Function Discovery Provider Host
        2. Function Discovery Resource Publication
        3. SSDP Discovery
        4. UPnP Device Host
