Working with Imaging Communicators
Imaging Communicators (see "Communicators" , on page 236) allow you to control signal
processing and distribution performance modules contained in Miranda Imaging-series
(Symphonie and Quartet) frames.
Imaging frames are connected to an Application Server using their respective RS-422 serial
ports. A Communicator service, corresponding to a specific serial connection, must be
configured and activated. If the service is not configured, you will not be able to control the
devices even if they are connected. If the service is configured, but there is no frame
connected, only the service will be displayed in the iC Navigator window.
To configure an Imaging communicator
1. Open the iControl Services Monitoring and Configuration page in Webmin (see "Starting &
Stopping iControl Services" , on page 697).
Figure 5-4
2. Open iC Navigator (see page 719 ).
3. Click the Logical view tab.
The Logical View tab is displayed.
Note: A single Application Server can support up to 50 composite panels.
Note: Make sure an Imaging Connection Manager has been configured for the port
to which the Symphonie or Quartet is connected (see “Configuring the Application
Server’s Serial Ports” in the iControl User’s Guide on the Documentation page of
iControl), and that the service is active (green).
Note: Make sure that the Imaging Communicator service is visible, and that its
status is green.
