 ViconNet Nucleus Installation and Configuration Guide 

 

 

 

Step 5: Testing the Network  

In this final step, you will carry out a number of operational tests to ensure 
that the network has been setup properly. 

1. In 

the 

Main

 window, ensure that all sites appear in the 

Site List 

when they

 

come online and that you can select a camera from each site by clicking on 

it.  

2. From 

the 

Main

 window, click 

. The 

Setup Site Selection

 window 

is displayed, showing a list of all currently connected transmitters and 

Workstations: 

 

3.  Ensure that the 

Site Type

 column displays the following: 

 

Kollector 

for all Kollector types  

 

Workstation

 

 

IP-Camera-xx

 

 

Offline

 

If the 

Site Type

 column displays the word 

Other

, it means that the 

application is not communicating correctly with that site. This can occur if the 
network connection is broken between that site and then reconnected (for 
example, due to an unplugged network cable) or because of some other 
network interruption. To correct this problem, go directly to that site, exit to 
the operating system and then restart the application.
