WINS
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) allows a Lauer Navigation Monitor to
register a unique name (host name) and map it to its IP-address. Once registered, the
Lauer Navigation Monitor can be accessed using this configurable name, without the
knowing its IP-address.
Definition of Host Name
By default, the host name of a Lauer Navigation Monitor is defined using the last two
bytes of its MAC-address, converting it to its hexadecimal ASCII representation and
finally succeeding the three characters “LAU”.
Example
A Lauer Navigation Monitor with the MAC-address 00-30-AC-10-17-1A has the
host name “LAU171A”, if it is not changed by the user.
Sample Application
The sample communication application chapter shows the full source code of a sim-
ple command line application, developed in plain ANSI-C, including necessary pro-
gram snippets to communicate with Lauer Navigation Monitors via Ethernet. The
sample code can be ported to any operating system supporting ANSI-C with none
or little development effort.
