Starting remote diagnostics

NCU 7x0 (Host)
1. Activate the "RCS Host Embedded" in the "Diagnosis" operating area via the "Remote
diagnosis" and "Start" softkeys. Status messages provide information on the current
state.
2. When the connection to the remote PC is established, the NCU 7x0 waits for the "Viewer"
application (mmcR.exe) to be started on the remote PC and the communication for the
data exchange to be activated.
The message: "Ping server responds" appears.
3. This communication is performed via remote diagnosis which, per default, is applied to
port number 5800.
4. When the message "Communication running" appears, operation of the machine from the
remote PC is possible.
Remote PC (viewer)
1. Either start the RCS Viewer directly from the Start menu or by double-clicking on file
"mmcR.exe".
130
– If a "Ping" server is operated in the system, the IP address of the NCU 7x0 (Ethernet
interface X130) is made known to the remote PC on arrival of the next "Ping". (e.g.
147.54.235.46).
– If no Ping server is available, enter the address manually.
