The links in the menu on the left lead to various pages where you can change
the configuration of the DCM. Initially, you should be sure to change your
administrator password. Click on Administrators under Network configuration,
fill in the new password in the two text boxes below Existing accounts, near the
bottom of the page, and click Change password. If you want to add any other
named accounts, you may do so at this stage (see
“Administrators” in Section
4.4
)..
At this point, you should configure the DCM for your own needs. Examples of
how to configure a DCM for several common applications are given in
Chapter
3, “Usage”
, whilst a full reference is provided in
Chapter 4, “Configuration
options”
. Some important points to note are:
•
The DCM uses internal serial and Ethernet ports to communicate with
the digitizer and the network. Altering the settings under Serial port
configuration or Network configuration may make the DCM
unreachable over the network. You should review carefully any changes
you make to these settings before committing them.
•
You can disable the DCM's ssh, http, and https servers using the links
under Data transfer. Before doing this, you should ensure that you will
still have access to the DCM by other means, e.g. by logging in directly
over ssh.
Setting up digitizers
You can change the configuration of attached DM24 digitizers through the
DCM's web page interface. To do this, click on Digitizer Setup beneath Actions
in the menu tree. The DCM will then retrieve the current configuration from the
DM24, which will take a few seconds. This done, a page will appear allowing
you to alter the digitizer's settings:
