Chapter 1 Introducing the Profile Family
20 Profile Family
Profile Logs
You can view Profile system logs with the graphical log viewer, WinTail. This
log viewer allows you to see the end of a log file. To learn more about how to
view Profile logs, see Chapter 6, “Using Profile Utilities.”
ProLink
ProLink monitors Profile Protocol calls over RS-422 communication lines,
allowing you to use a controller such as the PRC100 Profile Control Panel to
communicate with a Profile system. For more information on Profile Protocol,
see the documentation that accompanies the Profile Software Development Kit.
PortSever
PortSever allows you to control a Profile unit remotely using Ethernet
communications. For example, you can run PortServer on a remote Profile
system so that you can control it over a LAN with it from another Profile.
PortServer is used in conjunction with Fibre Channel operations.
Fibre Channel Support
You can use Fibre Channel video networking capabilities to move media from
one Profile unit directly to another. You can Media Manager use the Fibre
Channel connection to transfer media files between machines, as well as the
listnames and copymovie commands (described in the PDR200 Installation
Manual and the PDR100 Fibre Channel Manual). Ethernet LAN is required for
transferring commands and status information. For more information, see
Chapter 7, “Video Networking.”
