Remote Assistance
The Remote Assistance screen allows a
networked System 5000
™
to share its
display with any VNC-listening host. If the
system is connected to a network that has
Internet access, for instance, the unit could
share its display with support personnel at
Design Analysis to more easily assist with
any questions or troubleshoot any issues
that may arise.
System 5 000
™
IP
Defines the current IP address
associated with the System 5000
™
. An
IP address is necessary for the Remote
Assistance option to operate correctly.
Host(s)
Defines the name of the host to which the connection request will be sent. Connection
requests are sent to port 5500 on the host computer. Pressing the Connect button will attempt to
initiate a connection to the specified Host.
If an IP address is not shown, use Network Setup to first assign an IP address.
SDI-12 Transparent Mode
The SDI-12 Transparent and Monitor Mode
enables the System 5000
™
to not only
issue commands from the unit itself, but
also view all traffic on the SDI-12 lines. This
allows the System 5000
™
to talk directly
with and test any SDI-12 sensors on the
line. All SDI-12 sensors must implement a
set of standard commands. These standard
commands can be sent to a sensor using a
single button press. Extended or additional
commands specific to each sensor may
also be sent to a sensor through the
Extended CMD mode accessed through
the function button.
