Help: Recorder name 17.03.93
≤Recorder name:≥
Here you can enter a name for your Net-Recorder and indicate
a port, over which a connected box can transmit special alarm
messages from your Recorder to other Net-Recorders via the
network. For the identification of the dispatcher of the message
the recordername is inserted.
≤Recorder destination address:≥
Hardware address, to which the alarm messages should
be sent (if you have defined a Recorder name).
As a rule this is also the usual (quasi-multicast)-destination
address of the pulsarpackets: ⌠0000FB585858⌡. If all Net-Recorders
have this address both as ≤receive address≥ as well as as
≤Recorder destination address≥ for the alarm messages≥, each
Recorder is able to receive the messages of all others.
≤Recorder source address:≥
Net-Control puts this hardware address as source address in all
keep alive packets and packets for alarm messages.
Defaultconfiguration:
- if the messages are transmitted by an Ethernet Box
than the hardwareaddress of that box is used.
- if the packets are sent by a packet driver interface
than the address stored in that driver is used.
≤Keep Alive messages:≥
In addition each Net-Recorder can send a Keep-Alive message with
its name after each interval. If you have several Recorders (and
these are in the list of the known addresses) you can realize the
loss of a Net-Recorders quickly, if you set an alarm on the loss
of these keep alive packets.
≤Port and baudrate:≥
Generally the recorder messages are sent with the Ethernet Box,
which is the measuring interface to the network. In this case the
configuration here must be identical to these made for the port
and if necessary the baudrate to the Ethernet box (upper right
corner of the menu).
You can indicate also another port here, if you have a second
Ethernet box connected to your PC.
If you have an ethernet card in your PC and a packet driver
interface loaded, than you can send the packets via that interface.
(Of course this is the only possibility if you are not using an
Ethernet Box).
