The Raytec DiscoMan Tool allows you to:
• Discover all illuminators on the network – illuminators do not need a valid IP
address to be discovered
• Alter IP address of illuminators – the illuminators must have a valid IP address
to allow communication
• Disable / Enable DHCP
• Navigate directly to each illuminator – once a valid IP address has been
assigned
• See the illuminator’s status
• See whether the illuminator is ON / OFF
• View the MAC address of each illuminator
• Change Network Settings
• Change the Name and Group Name
• Change illuminator mode, and photocell and external input settings
• Change illuminator User Name and Password (illuminator must have default
settings for this to work)
• Upload certificates to illuminators for secure communication using HTTPS
DiscoMan (version 2 and above) allows the user to become their own certificate
authority (CA) to create certificates and can also create certificates on behalf
of an existing CA)
• Upload firmware to the illuminators (DiscoMan version 2 and above)
• Update the settings of more than one illuminator at a time
• See additional illuminator details including name, software version, model, the
time the illuminator has been powered and when its certificate is due to expire.
Hierarchy of Photocell vs. Telemetry
• If the telemetry function is enabled, then the photocell must detect that it is dark
for the telemetry function to operate.
• The photocell overrides the telemetry function during the day. If the external
input/telemetry function needs to be operated 24 / 7, then the photocell function
should be disabled from the settings / groups page.
• If the external input/telemetry is not active, then the unit will follow the photocell
settings.
The system requires 15 seconds of light to deactivate the photocell and turn the
illuminators off to avoid accidental turn off of the illuminators via car headlights
or torches.
If illuminators are in groups, the following rules apply:
- ANY sending illuminator within a group which says it is dark will turn all the
illuminators in the group on (subject to local illuminator settings)
- ALL illuminators in the group need to say it is light before all the group
illuminators will go off together (subject to local conditions)
