Assigning Com Ports; Connecting Several Vipdigital To Your Pc - Yellowtec Digital Voice Processor Manual

6.4 Assigning COM Ports

If your VIPdigital is connected to a higher port number than COM4, or if you want your VIP application
to connect to a dedicated COM port, perform the following steps:
(# stands for any COM port number available on your PC)
1. Exit VIPremote/VIPcon
2. In Windows Explorer, open the VIP program folder
3. Create a short-cut of VIPremote.exe and/or VIPcon.exe
4. With a mouse click (right button) open the properties window of the short cut(s)
5. There is an entry called "target". Without changing any character of the entry, add the following
characters to the end: " -com #". Make sure that there is one space character in front of the dash
and another one in front of the #.
6. Click "Apply", then click "OK".
7. Not required, but recommended: Rename the short-cut e.g. VIPremote_COM#/VIPcon_COM#
8. Double clicking the short-cut will start VIPremote/VIPcon in such way that only COM# port is
scanned for a connected VIPdigital.

6.5 Connecting several VIPdigital to your PC

A precondition for this mode of operation is that you are familiar with the previous section
Com Ports.
In the following we give an example to operate 3 VIPdigital with 3 VIPremote application windows:
- Create 3 short-cuts according to the procedure described in the previous section. Edit the
target entries in such way, that the first one refers to COM1, the second one to COM2 and the
third one to COM3. Rename them VIPremote_COM1 / VIPremote_COM2 /
VIPremote_COM3.
Connect 3 VIPdigital to COM ports 1 ...3 of your PC.
-
Double click on short-cut VIPremote_COM1. A VIPremote application window will open which
-
is related to COM1 and the VIPdigital connected to it.
- Double click on short-cut VIPremote_COM2. Another VIPremote application window will open
which is related to COM2 and the VIPdigital connected to it.
Double click on short-cut VIPremote_COM3. One more VIPremote application window will
-
open which is related to COM3 and the VIPdigital connected to it.
Now 3 VIPremote application windows are controlling 3 VIPdigital at the same time. Only one
-
can be edited at a time. Click on a window to activate it.
Starting from this example ...
- vary the number of connected VIPdigital
- use different COM port numbers
use VIPcon the same way!
-
There is not a particular limit in number of application windows allowed to be open at the same time,
but always reassure yourself by tests on your specific PC workstation if operation is accurate.
