Monitoring Pos Mv - Applanix POS MV V5 Installation And Operation Manual

POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide
System
Operation
• Control mode - the controller program displays all the PCS data broadcast over the Ethernet
display port and has an established Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection to the PCS
control port. This allows you to change the system configuration and save any new configurations
to NVM. Only one MV-POSView Controller program can connect to a given PCS at any one time.
In control mode, when a controller window is opened, the controller automatically requests the
appropriate group(s) to be output from the display port.
PCS Ethernet Connection
Refer to
Figure 40 on page 5-3 for this discussion. The MV-POSView Controller constantly receives broadcast
display data and records the originating PCS IP address. This list of IP addresses is displayed in the tool
bar drop-down field. The user selects the IP address for the PCS of interest from the drop-down field. The
controller monitors or connects to the IP address displayed on the controller tool bar.
