Chapter 4 – MC-Config Program
Interfaces
If the computer used to run the MC-
Config program has several IP network
interfaces, via this menu item one can -
if necessary - select, which interfaces
shall (can) be used for the connection
to the WLAN clients. The user should
use these settings in order to avoid the
distribution of an unnecessary big
number of broadcast queries via the
different interfaces.
Basic Settings
Options
In this menu item you find settings
that influence the functionality of the
MC-Config program.
Enable Key shortcuts
This allows to enable Key Shortcuts
for the list view. If this option is acti
-
vated, the list view reacts to the fol
-
lowing shortcuts:
Autosend UTC to devices
With Autosend UTC to devices the MC-Config program can be set
so that the current time of the PC is continuously transmitted to
the WLAN clients. This makes sense if no time server is available
in the network.
Device Polling
This parameter sets how often the current status of the devices in
the list is updated. It also sets how often a
Discover
is sent to find
new devices in the system.
The setting should be set depending on how many devices are
listed in the table, how much (WLAN) data traffic is to be gener
-
ated by the MC-Config program and how promptly status
changes in the devices are to be detected.
