Remote Settings (automatic)

Top  Previous  Next

- enables the user to scan

Com ports and/or
Local area network (LAN)

for connected codec_name_arial12_002.

The remote scan starts when OK is clicked.

 

Remote settings (automatic) dialog:

 

rmtautomatic001

 

Com Ports

- determines how many (RS-232) Com ports are to be scanned, starting with Com1.

If the value selected is 0, the Com port scan is DISABLED.

 

UDP Scan

CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 codecs, using system software version 1.1.0.44 (or later), can be auto-discovered on the LAN by an ‘UDP-identify’ broadcast command.

Amongst other responses, the following information should be returned:

IP address of each CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 responding
Serial number of each CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 responding
The name of each codec_name_arial12_001 (system software version 1.1.0.114, or later)
[Current versions of Remote Control execute the UDP scan automatically at start-up, provided IP control is being used. However, if a CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 is added or removed from the LAN, requesting a new UDP scan can be helpful.]

This remote version executes the UDP scan automatically at start provided IP control is used. Nevertheless if a codec_name_arial12_001 gets added or removed from the LAN a new UDP scan can be helpful.

Please remember that UDP scans only occur on the LAN segment: they cannot pass through any routers or gateways! However, you can still control a CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 in the WAN - even it isn’t discovered by a UDP scan.

 

If UDP scan is required, please select ‘Yes’ in the appropriate field.

 

Current Action

- displays the ‘current action’ of the Remote Control scan. This can be helpful during a Com port scan, when using RS-232, as it displays the settings (which Com port, and what baud rate) are being carried out at that moment. It is less important for the UDP scan, since this only takes a couple of seconds.

 

Report

- lists all the CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 codecs detected by the last Remote Control scan (either by Com port or UDP). Initially, when the scan starts, the table is empty. Should a CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 codec respond, then its details are added to the list.

codec_name_arial12bold_001 detected through a com port:

Com port number
Baud rate

codec_name_arial12bold_001 detected at udp scan:

IP address
CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 Name (system software version 1.1.0.114 or later) or
CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 serial number (system software version < 1.1.0.114)

 

Change To

Before a scan starts, there’s no choice: It’s ‘No’.

However, should a CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001 codec be detected during a network scan (see Report), then it’s details are added to the list - provided of course, it’s not the ‘currently controlled’ CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001.

However, if other than ‘No’ is selected from this list (and is confirmed by clicking OK) the Remote Control program switches control to the selected device.

 

Note:

Clicking OK here is context sensitive.

If ‘No’ is selected in Change to, clicking on OK starts a new UDP scan. However, if another item is selected, the dialog closes, and control is transferred to the selected device.
