4 IP Switching
4.1 Description
This function is only available for the CATCenter X8.
The "IP Switching" add-on function makes it possible to operate a CATCenter
X8 using an external control unit (e.g. touch panel). In particular, the following
operating elements are available to you:
• Connecting an attached console to a target via TCP/IP
• Disconnecting an attached console from a target via TCP/IP
• Viewing the status of the attached consoles
• Viewing a list of the attached targets
• Switching the keyboard / mouse assignment to another console (TS
function); in order to do so, the TS function must be enabled (see
Chapter 3 )
G&D supplies you with the following information for this purpose:
• Activation code to activate the "IP Switching" function in AdonIS
• A command line tool which can be used to carry out the above-
mentioned functions
• A library you can use to carry out the above-mentioned operating
elements within your own interface (e.g. touch panel)
• API documentation, including source code of the command line
program
Both the command line tool and the library are available for both Windows and
Linux. You will also find an API description in the folder (for Windows)
"catcenterclient_X_Y_Z.zip" or (for Linux) "catcenterclient_X_Y_Z.tgz".
X_Y_Z are placeholders for the version numbers.
Note:
By activating the "IP Switching" function, you have only prepared the
CATCenter system for this add-on. You must program the respective functions
supported by IP switching yourself.
You will also find an API description in the folder (for Windows)
"catcenterclient_X_Y_Z.zip" or (for Linux) "catcenterclient_X_Y_Z.tgz".
