4.3.1 AI-PROXY Statistics Screen (Read Only)
A sample AI-PROXY Statistics screen appears in Figure 11 . The 3 upper ETHERNET
fields and the ARCNET RX Packets and TX Packets fields serve the same function as
in the AI-SRVR
— as do the R, S and C commands. However, the AI-PROXY screen
differs from the AI-SRVR screen in the following ways:
The PROXY Status field replaces the Server Status field of the AI-SRVR. Whenever
the AI-PROXY software is running, this field will report ONLINE.
The AI-PROXY does not have multiple Ethernet clients to maintain
— so there is no
Clients field in Figure 11.
The Node ID List field will list up to 8 node IDs being represented by AI-PROXY units.
The AI-PROXY will maintain a list of remote proxies with which it communicates and
this list will appear in the Connections panel (blank by default). Each line in this panel
will report the remote proxy’s node ID and IP address (obtained via a self-discovery
process using broadcast messages). If this list exceeds the size of the panel, scrolling
can be accomplished by the action of two new commands: N scrolls down to the next
entry (line) in the list and B scrolls back up.
Pressing the Q key, will terminate the AI-PROXY program. This option is not available
when the user is connected to the AI-PROXY via the COM2 port because this port only
allows program monitoring
— it does not allow configuration or program control.
