K2 ASI Client Connection/Disconnection
Each remote ASI video application can be connected to one K2 ASI device at a time.
However, several remote ASI video applications can connect to the same K2 ASI
device.
Manual Connection
Remote ASI video application can run locally on the K2 ASI unit, or remotely from
the Control Point PC.
So as to connect the remote ASI video application to a K2 ASI device, select the
Server | Local
menu or click the
toolbar button.
To connect to a remote K2 ASI unit, select the
Server Connect
menu or click the
toolbar button. Then select the name of the K2 ASI device or enter its IP address.
Select the name from the list or enter it from the keyboard. The K2 ASI device list can
be updated by clicking the
(browse) button.
Once you have chosen a K2 ASI Client unit, click
OK
to validate.
Automatic Connection
If the Automatic connection to last K2 ASI device is enabled in the
Options |
Preferences
menu, when starting up, the remote ASI video application automatically
connects to the K2 ASI unitit was last connected to.
For more details on the remote ASI video application user preferences, refer to the
section.
Disconnecting from K2 ASI Client
To disconnect from K2 ASI device, select
Server | Disconnect
menu or click the
toolbar button. The remote ASI video application will no longer be connected.
Loss of Connection
Whenever a network problem occurs or the link to the K2 ASI device is interrupted,
the client detects the loss of connection and signals it through an alarm beep. The
remote ASI application icon begins to flash, and a flashing "Connection lost" message
appears in the toolbar.
Most menus are consequently disabled. The ASI video application automatically tries
to reconnect. When the connection is (automatically) recovered, the "Connection lost"
message disappears and all flashing stop. The ASI video application disconnects and
automatically reconnects to the K2 ASI device.
