Setting | Description |
|---|---|
TCP/IP Settings | |
Enable TCP/IP Control | Enabling the TCP/IP control interface allows the device to receive triggers over a TCP/IP connection. Disabling this interface when it is not in use is recommended. |
Same Port for Control and Result | TCP/IP input and output communications are on the same port number when enabled. |
Connection Type | Server (Default): Host systems attach the device to the Control Port Number, and the data is sent out with the Control Terminator. Client - The device connects to a host system at the specified IP address, Port Number and use Control Terminator to send the data packet. |
IP Address | Enter the host IP address when the Connection Type is set to Client. |
Control Port Number | Select a port number that accepts ASCII command strings for the device. |
Control Terminator | Select a terminator that follows the incoming ASCII command string. |
Trigger String | Set a customizable trigger command. Sending this string to the Control Port with the Control Terminator triggers the deployed job on the camera when the TCP/IP trigger is selected in the Capture chevron. |
Results | |
Enable TCP/IP Results | Enabling the TCP/IP Results interface allows the device to output result data over a TCP/IP connection. Disabling this interface when it is not in use is recommended. |
Connection Type | The Server Host system attaches to the device using the Result Port Number. The data is sent out with the Results Terminator. The device connects to a host system when the Client is enabled at the specified IP address. Port Number uses Result Terminator to send the data packet. |
IP Address | If the Connection Type is set to Client, enter the IP address. |
Results Port Number | When in Server mode, the port that the device sends the data out on. When in Client mode, the port on the device's host system connects to. |
Results Terminator | For both Client and Server modes, the Results Terminator is the termination text of the string data package. The default setting is CR+LF. |
Timeout | When in Client mode, the time the device attempts to connect to the host system. |
Deploy Mode Heartbeat | |
Enable TCP/IP Heartbeat | When enabled, this setting prompts the device to send out a heartbeat message at the defined interval to the connected TCP result host. The host uses this heartbeat message to verify that the connection with the device is active.
This setting only sends out a heartbeat message while a job is deployed. The heartbeat stops when the device is in Edit mode and resets after each TCP/IP output. |
Heartbeat Interval | Set the heartbeat time interval. |
Heartbeat Sequence | Create an arbitrary sequence of text and special characters for the heartbeat message. |
