IP Remote Control
The greenMachine can be used as a stand-alone module but at the same time it can be
fully controlled by the greenGUI Windows and Mac desktop application. In addition, the
greenMachine titan can be remote controlled and/or monitored via SNMP or the LYNX IP
remote control protocol through the NOVA controller function.
greenGUI
The greenGUI software is supplied as part of the greenMachine package. This can be
downloaded from the LYNX website. greenGUI control software is a comprehensive,
centralized application which provides remote control and status monitoring and event
(error) reporting for all modules installed in a greenMachine system.
System Requirements
The control software is designed to run on a Windows compatible PC or a Mac. The
supported Windows platforms are Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
(recommended). The supported Mac versions are Mavericks, Yosemite Mac OS X 10.10
or higher, El Capitan and Sierra. In the table below, you will find the minimum and the
recommended system requirements.

Passive Operation
The control system software application and hardware are completely passive in nature.
All settings for the modules are stored in the individual greenMachine’s Flash RAM.
Nothing is stored in the PC/MAC. The greenGUI software application and the local control
on the greenMachine merely provide a mechanism to view and change the settings stored
within the individual modules’ Flash RAM.
Should a PC running the control system be shut down or a network error be encountered
there will be no impact on the modules
’ normal operation and settings.
This passive design philosophy was deliberate as terminal equipment is typically used in
critical applications where continuity of use and reliability is paramount. The passive
nature essentially isolates the control system from normal operations as critical a point of
failure.
