Open RealFlow and go to File | RealFlow > Preferences > Job Manager:

  • Select Simulation Plugin. Choose "CmdSendJob".
  • Select Preview Plugin. Chose "CmdSendPreviewJob".
  • Manager Location. Enter the IP address of the computer with the "Job Manager" application, for example 192.168.2.3.
  • Port. Enter 65454 (example only, use the actual port from your system!)
  • Default URL. Enter the IP address of the computer with the "Job Manager" followed by :8080, for example 192.168.2.3:8080

To check if everything is configured correctly, open Layout > Job Manager. A web interface appears. Alternatively you can use any web browser and enter the Job Manager's, for example 192.168.2.3:8080.

  • Every node and the manager offer a "Preferences" panel for changing to change ports.

 

Your network is now ready to simulate.
