Communication Interface
The SR-Series sensors support a standard Ethernet interface (100Mbps). The product label
contains its unique MAC address. When interfacing with Magos proprietary MASS C&C
software consult the MASS user manual for more details on the sensor interface and ICD.
Otherwise please contact Magos at support@magosys.com for information on supported
C&C software, sensor
setup etc.
Network Behavior
In terms of network discovery – the SR-Series sensors send out a broadcast message used
for the identification of the sensor in any network, regardless of the subnet. These
messages can be used for the initial detection and configuration of the sensor (setting a
subnet-matching IP address).
In terms of outgoing operational messages (detections etc.), the SR-Series sensors are
designed to send messages to a single client. Once the sensor receives a valid message
from any source, it will automatically direct all outgoing communications to the source IP
address. The sensor does not support broadcast/multicast topologies in which several
devices listen/subscribe to outgoing messages sent from
the sensor.
Therefore, ensure that at any given time, your local network contains a single device that is
attempting to communicate with the SR-Series sensors. If more than one instance of the
MASS server is running on 2 different computers in the network, for example, a race
condition is created in which the sensor keeps "jumping" between two destination IP
addresses.
Radar Manager
The "Radar Manager" software tool is a simple configuration tool for swift and easy network
configuration of the SR-Series Radar. This tool doesn't require installation and can be
downloaded from (https://partners.magosys.com/portal/downloads/). If you encounter
problems during the download you may contact the Magos support team
(support@magosys.com) for assistance.
This section contains instructions on how to use the "Radar Manager" tool to detect radars
connected to your local network and to assign them with user-defined IP addresses. This
initial step is crucial for proper communications with the radars via C&C/PSIM software
(either Magos MASS or any other software based on Magos SDK).
Figure 9 depicts the Radar Manager main screen as it is shown when first running the tool.
