7 The program GPSMON32
The program GPSMON32 can be used to monitor and programm all essential functions of Meinberg Receivers.
The Software is executable under Windows 7, Windows Vista, Win9X, Win2000, WinXP and WinNT. To install
GPSMON32 just run
setup.exe
from the included USB flash drive and follow the instructions of the setup
program.
Program and clock can communicate either via serial link or via TCP/IP connection if the clock is prepared
for (XPT board). The mode to be used can be selected in menu
"Connection -> Settings"
by the checkboxes
serial and network.
7.1 Serial Connection
To obtain a connection between you PC and the receiver, connect the receivers COM0 port to a free serial port
of your PC. The PCs comport used by the program GPSMON32 can be selected in submenu "PC-Comport" in
menu "Connection".
Also transfer rate and framing used by the program are selected in this menu. Communication between the clock
and the PC comes about, only if the receiver serial port is configured in the same way as the PCs comport.
You can enforce an access, if the receiver serial port is not configured with appropriate parameters for commu-
nication. Select the menu item "Enforce Connection" in menu "Connection" and click "Start" in the apperaring
window. Some firmware versions of the receiver do not support this way of setting up a connection. If "Enforce
Connection" doesn’t succeed apparently, please change the serial port parameter of COM0 manually to the PCs
parameters.
7.2 Network Connection
(only clocks with Ethernet access!)
Settings needed for a network connection can be done in menu "Connection->Settings".
To set up a network connection from clock program GPSMON32, the mode "network" must be selected in the
field "mode". Further the TCP/IP-Address must be entered in field "IP-Address". If the IP-Address is unknown,
the user can let the program search for available clocks in the local network by clicking the "Find" button. A
new connection can be set up by clicking to one of the displayed addresses.
Access to radioclocks by network is always protected by a Password.
The online help function of GPSMON32 provides detailed information on setting up a TCP/IP connection.
