5.1 Basic operation
5.1.1 Connectivity
Each SG-CPM5 has one static IP address and a number of associated ports. The configuration management, done from the SG-System 5 Console soft-
ware, is located on port 1024. The SG-System 5 Console software is provided for Microsoft Windows operating system (refer to the console doc-
umentation for compatibility listing), which provides a graphical style menu for configuration. Additional features are available with the SG-System 5
Console software including storage of virtual receiver setups and configuration wizards.
5.1.2 SG-System 5 Console software
The Console software is intended to be the primary method of programming the system. Refer to the SG-System 5 Console Manual for details.
5.1.2.1 Visual verification
This port is used by the SG-System 5 Console to accept visual verification files such as images, sound, and movie files.
5.1.2.1.1 Connectivity
The visual verification port is TCP/IP port 2025 (default) on the SG-CPM5 that the console connects to.
5.1.2.1.2 Functionality
All the commands are XML files transmitted over the TCP/IP stream. The XML files parse all the information generated by the receiver for each visual
verification event.
5.1.2.1.3 Header file
Included in each folder is an XML file that contains account and alarm specific information. This file can be viewed with any text editor.
5.1.2.1.4 Unique ID
The unique ID is a number assigned to each film for identification and retrieval purposes.
The Unique ID is a 20-digit number in which the first ten digits are the 10-digit transmitter account number.
5.1.2.1.5 Automation and printer messages
When a visual verification event is received, the SG-System 5 outputs a message to automation and printer.
Automation message:
001001[#XXXXXXXXXX|Idu255]
Printer message:
SG -01-001-XXXX-Idu255 -IMAGE VERIFICATION INITIATED
5.1.2.1.6 ACK
Once a command is issued by either the SG-System 5 or the console/automation software it should return an ACK within 4 seconds.
5.1.2.1.7 NACK from the console or automation software
If the receiver sends a command and receives a NACK response from the console software, the receiver re-sends this command up to four times. After
the fourth NACK to the same message, the system generates an internal communication error and outputs the applicable information for the event to the
printer. The system does not change the automation slot that it is currently in as the response to the message is a valid command (NACK). If at any time
in the sequence the system receives an ACK to the message, the system accepts this and clears any counters for the previous failed attempts.
The automation/printer message is outputted via the SG-automation/printer path indicating that a message has failed:
Visual Verification output
Communication Failure
001000[#0000|NYOssSS]
SG -01-000-0000-NYOssSS-Visual: Inter-Comm Error: DDDDD AAAAAAAAAA – Unique ID
After the fourth re-try, the line card moves on to the next command that it has to send.
