Monitoring remote control communications

Monitoring remote control communications

The Protocol Monitor button

is displayed in the AppCenter StatusBar when a

protocol application is running on an iVDR channel. The button flashes when any
channel is receiving remote control messages. Clicking the button opens the Protocol
Monitor dialog box which you can use to determine which channels are receiving
messages.

NOTE: The Protocol Monitor dialog will not open until a controller is connected
and at least one command set is sent.

To open the Protocol Monitor dialog box:

• Click the Protocol Monitor button

in the AppCenter StatusBar.

The dialog box displays the channel number and protocol being used, along with
the port number and control mode (Local or Protocol only). The green status LED
indicates the port is receiving protocol commands.
