Method arguments:

1. dst - Required argument. The name of the remote computer where the Axxon PSIM kernel is installed. The value of dst should correspond to one of the names of the computers registered during setup of the video surveillance system.  It takes the following values:  Type – String, meeting the requirements for network computer names; range – computer names existing in the system.
2. src - Required argument. The name of the local computer where the script executes. The value of src should match the name of the local computer as it is registered in Axxon PSIM.  It takes the following values:  Type – String; meeting the requirements for network computer names.

The information about all connections of the local computer (kernel) to other remote computers (kernels) registered during the setup of the distributed architecture, is displayed in the Architecture tab of the System Settings window.

Usage examples

Problem. Upon a camera alarm, determine the name of the server this camera is connected to, and output the IP-address of the connection between this server and the local computer where the script executes, to the debugger window.

if (Event.SourceType == "CAM" && Event.Action == "MD_START")
{
 var camid = Event.SourceId;
 var compname = GetObjectParentId("CAM", camid, "COMPUTER");
 var ip = GetIPAddress("WS1","WS1"); \\if the script is run on the computer where kernel of Axxon PSIM software has been installed
 DebugLogString("IP-address of the alarmed camera computer" + ip);
}
