6.1 Menu
The menu is divided in two areas: The
menu bar
includes functions via pull-down
menus, who are reachable via buttons of the symbol bar too, and further configuration
tools (service functions) and viewing options.
6.1.1 Symbol bar:
Provides direct access to all important functions:
Save / Open File:
Saves / Loads a setup configuration previously stored on harddisk or diskette. This al-
lows, for example, programming the sensors with standardized settings.
Connection via TCP / IP:
Opens a submenu for data transmission via TCP /
IP or close a connection:
In the address list you can manage IP-addresses
of many sensor units.
For open a connection select the desired name
and click to the ‚
Connect
„- Button.
If the connection has been successfully estab-
lished, a message appears and the dialog box is
automatically closed.
The termination of a established connection can be
done via the ‚
Disconnect
„- Button.
The connection to the EP- DMD-4 can establish via Lan or for remote maintenance over
the internet.
LAN
:
In the LAN the connection to the DMD is defined by IP-address a Port-No. (Delivery
state: IP: 192.168.1.254; Port 81). The PC or Laptop must have an address in the
same number range (e.g. PC: 192.168.1.51).
Mouse-clicking on the PC-Info button displays the actual IP-address. The IP-address
can be changed in the windows-menu (Network->LAN->Settings->Internet protocol).
Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
When it`s not possible to change the IP-Address then its necessary to change the ad-
dress of the DMD-4 (s. 6.1.2, sensor options).
Remote maintenance
To configure the DMD-4 via remote maintenance the DMD-4 must be connected to a
router who has access to the internet. Normally the router is registered to a Name-
server like DynDNS.org, ZoneEdit.com, NoIP.com e. c.. In our example the identifier is
ecompany.dyndns.info
.
