Before you configure the interaction between the Agent of Control and the Server of Control, it is recommended to make sure that the name and identifier of the Partition of Control object being configured are specified correctly, since upon the successful connection to the Server of Control, if an object with this identifier is absent, the Partition of Control object with the name and identifier of the object being configured will be automatically created on it. If the interaction between the Agent of Control and the Server of Control is configured successfully, the Registration completed message will be displayed in the Registration area. This means that the Agent of Control can transmit alarms and data on the technical state of this Partition of Control to the Server of Control.

If the Partition of Control object could not be created on the Server of Control, the reason will be indicated in the Registration area, for example:

  • The base software is not loaded;
  • Change the object name (an object with the same name already exists on the Server of Control);
  • An object on the Server of Control will also not be created if the user does not have rights to administer the Server of Control object (see Rights administration).

To configure communication between Agent of Control and Server of Control:

  1. Go to the configuration panel for the Partition Of Control object.
  2. Click the Transmitting... button. A dialog box opens with settings for configuring the communication method between Agent of Control and Server of Control.

  3. In the Connection to Server of Control Control Server drop-down list select the Client mode as the methods for connecting Agent of Control to Server of Control (1).

    Info
    titleNote.

    The Server mode is not used.


  4. In From the Connection type drop drop-down list, select one of the possible values value for the transport level (2): . Possible values - TCP/IP or RS232 (2).
  5. If RS232 connection type is selected in the Connection type field, then specify values in the COM port number, COM port speed, and COM port format fields parameters (3).
  6. If Client mode is used to connect to Server of Control and If TCP/IP connection type is selected in the Connection type field, then indicate the parameters for connection with to the Server of Control in this dialog box:
    1. If an IP-address is used for connection, ensure the Use DNS instead of IP checkbox is not set (45) and indicate the IP address and TCP port of Server of Control (54).

    2. If a domain name is used for connection, set the Use DNS instead of IP checkbox (15) and indicate the DNS name and TCP port of Server of Control (2).

      Info
      titleNote.

      The use of domain name for connection allows to avoid Agent of Control resetting in case of Server of Control IP-address change.


  7. When still frames or video is sent to Server of Control, the data is transferred in packets. The packet size is specified by the setting named I/O buffer (bytes) (6). For maximum data transfer speed, you are advised to use the value 4096. For poor connections, such as if a GSM modem is used, you are advised to use the value 800.
  8. In If Client mode is selected, in the Ping frequency (sec.) field (7), enter the time interval at which Agent of Control will send messages about its technical state to Server of Control (if Client mode is selected) (7). Minimal possible value is 10 sec. The value in the Ping frequency (sec.) field This value does not affect short-term alarms. Messages about short-term alarms are transmitted from Agent of Control to Server of Control immediately after corresponding sensors triggering. Some long-term alarms can also be an exception: for more info see the document Monitoring. Operator's Guide, section Appendix 1. Data update periods summary
  9. Click OK (8).
  10. Click Apply to save the changes.

Configuration of communication between Agent of Control and Server of Control is now complete.
