Configuring the ViconNet System
XX128-33-00 Rev 806 Kollector Pro Network Digital Video Recorder
Using the Central Failure Notification (CFN) Mechanism
The CFN mechanism enables Workstations and transmitter sites connected to the same nucleus to receive
notifications indicating that certain applications have failed, for example, macro, recording and database
failures.
CFN increases the user's awareness of problems that could occur at unmanned remote sites. It sends
error/warning notifications, via the network, to other sites that share the same nucleus. The notifying site is
the same one that handles the nucleus.
The CFN mechanism is available only for the site that handles the nucleus.
NOTE:
If the Kollector Pro is the nucleus, it can see here (in the CFN window) the other available sites in
the network.
To activate the CFN mechanism:
1. From the ViconNet
Main
window, click
. The
Setup Site Selection
window is displayed as
shown on page 57.
2. Select the local site (if it is the nucleus) and click
. The
System Settings
window is displayed,
as shown on page 58.
3. Click
. The
Central Failure Notification
window is displayed.
4. In
the
Site List
section, select which site(s) to notify about a failure occurring in any other site that
shares the same nucleus from the
Available
area and then click
. The selected site(s) is
displayed in the
Selected
area.
5. When you have finished, click
OK
.
