Discovery of Remote Cards, digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX/hybridNETBOX products
The Discovery function helps you to find and identify the Spectrum LXI
instruments like digitizerNETBOX, generatorNETBOX or
hybridNETBOX available to your computer on the network. The Dis -
covery function will also locate Spectrum card products handled by
an installed Spectrum Remote Server somewhere on the network. The
function is not needed if you only have locally installed cards.
Please note that only remote products are found that are currently not
used by another program. Therefore in a bigger network the number
of Spectrum products found may vary depending on the current usage
of the products.
Execute the Discovery function by pressing the „Discovery“ button.
There is no progress window shown. After the discovery function has
been executed the remotely found Spectrum products are listed under
the node Remote as separate card level products. Inhere you find all
hardware information as shown in the next topic and also the needed
VISA resource string to access the remote card.
Please note that these information is also stored on your system and
allows Spectrum software like SBench 6 to access the cards directly
once found with the Discovery function.
After closing the control center and re-opening it the previously found
remote products are shown with the prefix cached, only showing the
card type and the serial number. This is the stored information that al -
lows other Spectrum products to access previously found cards. Using
the „Update cached cards“ button will try to re-open these cards and
gather information of it. Afterwards the remote cards may disappear
if they’re in use from somewhere else or the complete information of
the remote products is shown again.
Enter IP Address of digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX/hy -
bridNETBOX manually
If for some reason an automatic discovery is not suitable, such as the case where the remote
device is located in a different subnet, it can also be manually acessed by its type and IP ad -
dress.
Wake On LAN of digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX/hybridNETBOX
Cached digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX/hybridNETBOX products that are currently in
standby mode can be woken up by using the „Wake remote device“ entry from the context
menu.
The Control Center will broadcast a standard Wake On LAN „Magic Packet“, that is sent to the
device’s MAC address.
It is also possible to use any other Wake On LAN software to wake e.g. a digitizerNETBOX by
sending such a „Magic Packet“ to the MAC address, which must be then entered manually.
It is also possible to wake a remote device from your own application software by using the SP -
C_NETBOX_WAKEONLAN register. To wake a digitizerNETBOX, generatorNETBOX or
hybridNETBOX with the MAC address „00:03:2d:20:48“, the following command can be is -
sued:
spcm_dwSetParam_i64 (NULL, SPC_NETBOX_WAKEONLAN, 0x00032d2048ec);
