Lisa Compact 62
14 Monitoring
The Lisa is much more extended than a simple internet player. It features automatic software update,
playing from card, card content update, task scheduling and more. In this section the options to monitor
the Lisa are described. This is a useful feature for a device with so many possibilities.
The recommended starting point is to use the remote monitoring that the Lisa sends to the monitoring
server. Both Device portal and the Streamit Audio Distribution Platform support this and show the
monitoring messages that the Lisa sent. This section explains this type of monitoring in detail.
If the remote monitoring is not available for you on the platform that you use, you could use the Lisa
Configuration Tool (LCT) instead. If the Lisa is connected via USB to a local Windows PC, LCT can
communicate with the device and show very detailed logging. This is also useful in (very rare) cases
where the regular remote monitoring is not sufficient.
However, using LCT for logging is not recommended when the Lisa is new to you. If possible, you would
better get familiar with the regular monitoring of the Lisa on the platform, before using LCT for
monitoring.
14.1 Monitoring the Lisa on the platform
For the use of the remote monitoring feature, a monitoring server is required. This is implemented on
both the Streamit Device portal and the Streamit Audio Distribution Platform (ADP). Every “in-minutes-
configurable” interval, the Lisa will make a TCP (socket) connection with the monitoring server and send
a textual log message. This message contains a number of tags, which the server parses and displays in
an intuitive way using tables, color codes, etc. Depicted below is the current implementation on the
Streamit ADP and Device portal.
There are two settings that need to be programmed, so that the Lisa knows where to send the logs and
how often. This can be done on the Device portal or Streamit ADP, or manually. See the <rcs>
command described in
Command overview list for more details on how to manually configure the
monitoring settings of the Lisa.
Depending on the platform that is used (Device portal, Streamit ADP, or a custom-built platform), the
right network ports should be open for outbound connections from the Lisa. See Ports used by Lisa
devices for more information.
