Running more than one Sonar Head
In order to run more than one Sonar Head, you must configure and enable multiple
instances of the M3 Sonar API.
Prerequisites
• You must have installed the M3 software.
• Your computer must be on the same network as the Sonar Heads.
• Download and install a free XML file editor, such as +.
Note
Avoid using the default Notepad editor in Windows, as it may insert hidden characters
into XML files that will cause the M3 Sonar API to crash.
Procedure
1
Navigate to C:\KML
2
Make multiple copies of the “M3_V0240” folder and rename each folder
accordingly.
Make one copy for each Sonar Head that you have. For example, “M3_V0240_1”,
“M3_V0240_2”, “M3_V0240_3”, etc. Each “M3_V0240” folder represents one
instance of the M3 Sonar API.
3
For each instance of the M3 Sonar API, configure each Sonar Head’s IP address
and assign unique port numbers.
a
Navigate to C:\KML\M3_V0240_1\BIN\SETTINGS (Replace “M3_V0240_1”
with the name you have used for this instance).
b
Right-click on the file “UsersInfo.xml”.
