Page 5: Introduction
Remote-i Net Introduction Remote-i is the generic denomination of a family of equipment manufactured by Contronics which allows communication (data downloading) between Guardus and a computer. Contronics offers 4 different Remote-i models: Remote-i Serial Remote-i Modem Remote-i ISP Remote-i Net The basic function of the family of Remote-i equipment is the same: to provide a means of communication between Guardus and a remote computer for the downloading of data.
Page 6: Installation
The power source provided with the Remote-i Net leaves the factory set to 220V. Verify that the voltage available at the socket is correct. If not, move the selection switch to the correct voltage (220 or 110).
Page 7: Operation
Remote-i Net Operation The Remote-i Net operation is absolutely silent, and the signaling is carried out by 3 small colored lights (LEDs) on the front panel of the equipment. Figure 2 - Front panel. The visual signaling has the following set-up:...
Page 8: Normal Operation Steps
POWER should light up in green, whenever the Remote-i Net is switched on; 2. immediately after the Remote-i Net is switched on, the three LEDs will be lit, indicating that the equipment is attempting to connect to the local network. After 3 seconds the LEDs identified as COMMUNICATION and LINE should turn off, and only the POWER will be lit.
Page 9: Basic Programming
The test to find out whether or not your local network has a DHCP server is very simple: it is just a matter of turning on the Remote-i Net with the factory configuration. The 3 LEDs of the Remote-i Net will light up while it searches for the DHCP server.
Page 10: Reconfiguring The Remote-I Net For Use Without A Dhcp Server
Reconfiguring the Remote-i Net for use without a DHCP server The Remote-i Net leaves the factory programmed to find a DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote-i Net...
Page 11 Returning to the configuration program, press the "Update" button in order to scan the local network in search of Remote-i Net devices. If a device of this type is found, it will appear on the list, as shown in the figure below.
Page 12: List Of Remote-I Net Devices Found
The list of devices found during the scanning of the local network appears on the upper left part of the main screen. On each line of the list a Remote-i Net series number and the IP address which it is using at the time are shown.
Page 13 If the numbers are not correct, the Remote-i Net will not be able to operate. If there is a conflict of IP addresses (same address for two machines on the local network) both the Remote-i Net and the other machine which has the same address will be affected.
Page 14: Remote-I Server Addressing
Remote-i Net CommCenter addressing The process of downloading the Guardus data involves not only the Remote-i Net, but also a program known as CommCenter which remains installed on a remote machine and is always ready to receive and process these data.
Page 15: Saving Of Information
Saving of information All the information shown or edited on the main screen of the Remote-i Net configuration program remains stored only inside each specific device. No information is recorded on the computer which is being used for the configuration process.
Page 16: Frequently Asked Questions
Net POWER LED does not light up, call Technical Assistance (see contact information on page 19) and report the problem. 2. The Remote-i Net came on, but the 3 LEDs remained lit after the initial 3 seconds. What should be done? This situation shows that your local network does not have an active DHCP at this time.
Page 17 What has happened? This is not a Remote-i Net but a Guardus signal. What it is trying to tell you is that the position in which the Guardus was placed on the Remote-i Net metal receptacle caused a faulty contact. This situation is temporary and soon after the end of the 9 “bips”...
Page 18 LED will only go off when the Guardus is removed from the metal receptacle. 8. I will use Remote-i Net only on an internal network, where my PC which runs CommCenter is in the room next door. Which type of configuration do I need? You need to configure the (Guardus G or Guardus T) using the corresponding application for it to store the network address of the PC where the CommCenter program is running.
Page 19 Yes, there is. You can use an alternative method which consists of programming the PC address in the actual Remote-i Net itself. So, when you place the wand on the Remote-i Net, it will try to read the PC address which is stored in the wand. If it finds it, it will use this address read from the wand. If not, it will use the address which is programmed inside itelf.
Page 20 Remote-i Net In the first case, a special configuartion will not be necessary. The Remote-i Net needs only to know the network (IP) addres of your PC. In the second case, it will be necessary to open what is called the...
Page 21 Remote-i Net 17.Can I use this address to test the Remote-i Net whenever it is installed at my client's facility's? Of course. Feel free to test it whenever you wish. Contronics has this address for that purpose, we only request that it be used moderately, since there are thousands of Remote-i Nets spread worldwide, which also use this address for tests.
