MultiNet Receiver Programs and Utilities:
There are a number of programs, scripts and special purpose circuits that are installed in
an AES MultiNet Receiver. Some are programs that are installed by AES to make your
Linux Server a MultiNet Receiver. Others are utilities used to configure and maintain
it. There are also a number of others that are part of the operating system installation.
Also included are special purpose circuits for monitoring the proper operation of the
programs and hardware.
Many programs are started during a normal boot up of the system. Utilities are usually
started by request of a user. The following sections explain those that are useful or
specific to the operation of the MultiNet Receiver.

2- ipctrl
is the Radio Management Program. It is similar to the Net7000
program that standalone
IntelliNet
receivers use. Most of the screen displays
network activity. Network activity scrolls up the screen. In normal
communication monitoring mode, radio data “traffic” whose destination is the
central receiver and is in range of the IP-Link Transceiver is displayed. This
is a valuable tool for monitoring and controlling the RF network.

messages to the automation system. It is configured using the Admin GUI,
shown in
. Deliver can communicate alarm automation messages
via RS-232, TCP/IP or both. See
