Info

In order to issue commands to many terminals at a time, you may select multiple devices in the main window. The device window will leave enabled only those features that can be issued to multiple devices at a time. Note: Some information will be available on device’s that are registered to some other application, but only information that can be obtained passively. The device serial number, for instance, will be available, while the display contents will not be. Register Button Most of the commands and information will be unavailable until the Status Monitor has registered the device. Clicking Register will register the device to the status monitor, and allow the status monitor full access to the device. The Status Monitor cannot always register a device which is already registered to another application. If a device is so registered, and the application refuses to relinquish control of the device, the Status Monitor will not be able to acquire control, and most of the options listed below do not apply. The default application supplied by LINX, “Datascribe”, will always relinquish control of a device when requested, and will automatically re-acquire the device once the Status Monitor has unregistered it (this later process can take several seconds). If it is required to register a non-conforming application, you must first unregister the terminal, then register. 10 • Turn-Key Application Features LINX 7-5 Turn-Key Application User's Guide
Saving Unsolicited Data Each time you attempt to register one or more devices you will receive a warning concerning unsolicited data received from the device. This warning can be ignored when first registering a device. Once a device is registered and a communications link is established, the device will begin sending queued data to the service if it has any. There is no way to prevent this data from being sent without suspending the LNA communications link. There are three options available to you. If No is chosen, all the data sent from the device will be discarded. If Yes is chosen, all the data sent from the device will be saved to a text file of your choosing. If the data is important, that file may be manually entered into your system at a later time. It is cumbersome (the file contains LINXXML formatted packet data), but at least the data is not lost entirely. Choosing Cancel aborts the registration operation. If it is desired to save data to a file, it will store the data coming from all registered devices to that file. It will only stop once all the devices are unregistered from the Status Monitor. (That is, after unregistering all the devices, the next device registered will once again prompt to save received data.) UnRegister Button Use this to unregister the device when you are finished with it. Unregistering the device releases memory and other resources associated with it, and allows other applications to register it. You may also unregister devices that are currently registered to another application, although use caution when doing so. The other application may not be aware that it has “lost” the device it was working with. Status Data There are five fields that display data already available in the main window. These are: ID, IP, Type, Owner, and Status. This information is available whether or not the device is registered. Physical Availability To the right of the Type field, is a box labeled “Availability”. This box indicates whether or not the device can be detected on the network. In the figure above, it contains a green light. If there were no network route to the device, it would contain a red light. This can also happen if the power or Ethernet cable to the device is unplugged. LINX 7-5 Turn-Key Application User's Guide Turn-Key Application Features • 11
