IPRC – IP Relay Control
IP Relay Control is software intended for easy testing and using IP relays of the HW
Group production. It allows controlling the relay contacts via NVT commands in the
graphical environment. IPRC is a small utility which does not require installation and
besides the IP relay controlling it also allows simple management of more devices and
easy realization of the Reset function.
Basic characteristics of IPRC
•
Simple graphic environment for Windows
95/98/ME/2000/XP.
•
Support of all available IP relay
configurations
.
o
Power On
(PO);
o
Power Off
(PF);
o
Normally Open
(NO);
o
Normally Close
(NC);
•
Searching IP relays in the local network by a
UDP Broadcast
•
Allows assigning the name to the IP relay
depending on an IP address.
•
Allows prolonged status change by buttons:
o
Turn On
– turn on the power supply;
o
Turn Off
– turn the power supply off;
o

•
The
Read
button for loading the actual IP
relay state.
•
Writing

executed
operation into a log.
In the upper left section of the application the list of found devices and their MAC addresses is
displayed. You can search for the individual devices within the local network by the
Search
button in
the
UDP Search
section. By choosing appropriate MAC address the actual assigned IP address
and port will be written into the fields below the
Search
button. You can write a text-based device
signature (up to 255 chars) into the field below the IP address, which can easily identify the
particular IP relay in the network of more devices.
By the “
Use This”
button is either the corresponding signature written into the configuration file of
the IP Relay Control and the IP address and port transferred into the relevant fields of the
Connection
section.
The
Connection
section serves for opening and closing a TCP connection with the corresponding
IP relay module. By the
Connect, (or Disconnect)
button you can create or dissolve this connection.
The check box named
Keep Connection
hold stable TCP connection until Disconnect.
There is channel type autodetection, if it’s fault, you can define Channel’s type manually by the
Channel 1
and
Channel 2
switches, which allow assigning four possible configurations to the
particular channels
