Server Configuration In Depth
Server Windows and Menus
This section contains descriptions of the server's two main windows, the Server
Monitor window and the Signal Analyzer window.
The Server Monitor Window
The Server Monitor window is the server's main window. It appears upon starting up
the server application, and remains open until the server application terminates.
The Server Monitor window. The server protocol has been started with a single system connected via
TCP/IP. Note the name of the currently loaded configuration in the title bar.
The Message Log Frame
When the server protocol is running, the Message Log frame shows status and error
messages; for example, it lists each time the protocol is started and halted.
The System Connection Status Frame
This frame contains a colorful legend above a series of small numbered rectangles,
representing each of the defined systems. The color of a control system's rectangle
indicates its connection status, according to the legend. When the server protocol is
not running, all systems show a status of "Not Connected" (gray). In figure above,
the server protocol has been started. There is only one system defined and its status
is "[connected via] TCP/IP" (green) meaning that a successful TCP/IP connection
has been made to that system. The other possible states are "Waiting [for connection
or disconnection]" (yellow), "[connected via] RS-232" (blue), and "Fault" (red). If a
system cannot connect, it turns red and stays that way until the next connection
attempt. The protocol runs if at least one system connects successfully.
The File Menu
The following command is only available when the server protocol is halted:
Configuration file.... This command can be used to instantly reconfigure the
server by indicating an alternate configuration settings file. Any configuration
changes made henceforth are saved to this new file. The name of this file is
stored in the Windows registry and becomes the default configuration. Use
