Note.

If the network where ATM Intellect components operate uses a firewall protection and access control system, then VPipe complex should be used to pass-through packages exchange between ATM Intellect Pro and ATM Intellect Workstation - see the Features of operation within the firewall protection and access control systems section.

Note

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

If the Surveillance Object object could not be created on the ATM Intellect Workstation, 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 ATM Intellect Workstation);
  • An object on the ATM Intellect Workstation will also not be created if the user does not have rights to administer the ATM Intellect Workstation object (see Rights administration).

Setting up a connection between ATM Intellect Pro and ATM Intellect Workstation is performed in the following way:

  1. Go to the Surveillance Object object setting panel.
  2. Click the Transmitting ... button. A dialog box for selecting the interface method between ATM Intellect Pro and ATM Intellect Workstation opens.
  3. From the Connection to ATM-Intellect Workstation drop-down list select one of the two available methods for connecting ATM Intellect Pro to ATM Intellect Workstation will be used: Server mode or Client mode (1).
  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 ATM Intellect Workstation 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 ATM Intellect Workstation (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 ATM Intellect Workstation.

      Note.

      The use of domain name for connection allows to avoid ATM Intellect Pro resetting in case of ATM Intellect Workstation IP-address change.

  7. The sending of frames and clips on ATM Intellect Workstation is performed by packets. The I/O buffer (bytes) field sets the packet size (6). For maximum transmission speed, use 4096. It is recommended to use value 800 for bad connection links, for example when the GSM-modem is in use.
  8. If Client mode is selected, in the Ping frequency (sec) field (7) enter the frequency at which ATM Intellect Pro sends ping test messages about its technical status to ATM Intellect Workstation. Minimal possible value is 10 sec. This value does not affect short-term alarms. Messages about short-term alarms are transmitted to ATM Intellect Workstation immediately after corresponding sensors triggering. Some long-term alarms can also be an exception: for more info, see the document ATM Intellect. Operator's Guide, section Appendix 1. Data update periods summary
  9. Click OK (8).
  10. Click Apply to save the changes.

Setting up a connection between ATM Intellect Pro and ATM Intellect Workstation is completed.
