UnitConfig Program
Configuring RealScan 7802 units over the network requires a GUI program called Unit
Configuration that is installed from the CD-ROM. Generally, configuration by special
barcode is kept for those occasions when a devices network configuration is
incompatible with the local network. Changes can be made off-line that permit the unit
to connect to the network, just like the ‘Quick-Start Guide”, but without needing the PC.
Appendix B describes this method. Once the unit is network compatible the rest of the
configuration can be done through
Unit Configuration .
Unit Configuration is a VisualBasic® program that provides a simple graphical way to
query and configure any RealScan 7802 unit. It uses the RealScan 7802 mode controls
(see
Interfacing to the Back Office Server ) to setup the unit. The program is available in
both source and executable form.
Modeset is an equivalent command–line program that can query and set modes
through a text file or directly from the directory prompt.
Example: Modeset [mode value] Sets the mode to the specified value
Modeset –g [mode] Returns the value of the mode
Modeset Lists all non-hidden modes and their values
Using Unit Configuration
When the program is first started, all boxes in the screen are blank. Enter the IP address
of the RealScan 7802 unit you wish to change in the
Unit IP Address box. Click the
Read Modes button – all the Modes and their Contents (values) are read from the
subject unit and displayed as shown in the following illustration.
To change a mode; highlight the New Content box in the same row as the mode you
want to change by left clicking it. Enter the new value in the box and click the Set Mode
button. If the value is accepted, the box and the button turn green. If it is not accepted,
the box and button turn red. Now click the
Commit button, this commits the change to
flash memory in the RealScan 7802 unit. Multiple changes can be made before
committing them. If any of the changes are not accepted, the
Set Mode button turns red
and none of the changes are made.
Clicking the Close button blanks the screen including the IP address box and permits a
new IP address, hence a new unit to be selected.
Clicking the TextReset button applies changes made to text modes so they can be seen
immediately; however, like all other modes the changes are not permanently stored
until the
Commit button is clicked.
The SaveToFile button saves the screen to a text file where it can be stored and printed
if necessary. This is usually done for troubleshooting or maintaining hard copy records
of each unit's configuration.
The Restart Unit button causes a ‘soft boot’ of the selected unit.
