Before you configure the interaction between the Agent of Controlсontrol and the Server of Controlсontrol, 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 Controlсontrol, 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 Controlсontrol and the Server of Controlсontrol is configured successfully, the Registration completed message will be displayed in the Registration area (1). This means that the Agent of Controlсontrol can transmit alarms and data on the technical state of this Partition this Partition of Control сontrol to the Server of Controlсontrol.

If the Partition of Control object could not be created on the Server of Controlсontrol, 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 Controlсontrol);
  • An object on the Server of Controlсontrol will also not be created if the user does not have rights to administer the Server of Controlсontrol object (see Rights administration).

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

  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 Controlcontrol and Server of Controlcontrol.

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

    Info
    titleNote.

    The Server mode is not used.


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

    2. If a domain name is used for connection, set the Use DNS instead of IP checkbox (5) and indicate the DNS name and TCP port of Server of Controlcontrol.

      Info
      titleNote.

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


  7. When still frames or video is sent to Server of Controlcontrol, 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. If Client mode is selected, in the Ping frequency (sec) field (7), enter the time interval at which Agent of Controlcontrol will send messages about its technical state to Server of Controlcontrol. Minimal possible value is 10 sec. This value does not affect short-term alarms. Messages about short-term alarms are transmitted from Agent of Controlcontrol to Server of Controlcontrol immediately after corresponding sensors triggering. Some long-term alarms can also be an exception: for more info see the document Monitoring PSIM. Operator's Guide, section Appendix 1. Data update periods summary
  9. Click OK (8) to save the connection settings and return to the configuration panel for the Partition Of Control object.
  10. Click Apply to save the changes.

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