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.

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. In 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. In the Connection type drop-down list select the type of transport interface. Can be either TCP/IP or RS232 (2).
  5. If RS232 is chosen for the Connection type, the COM port number, COM port speed and COM port format must be configured (3).
  6. If TCP/IP is chosen for the Connection type, indicate the parameters for connection with 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 (4) and indicate the IP address and TCP port of ATM-Intellect Workstation (5).

    2. If a domain name is used for connection, set the Use DNS instead of IP checkbox (1) and indicate the DNS name and TCP port of ATM-Intellect Workstation (2).

      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 (5). 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. In the Ping frequency (sec) field enter the frequency at which ATM Intellect Pro sends ping test messages about its technical status to ATM Intellect Workstation  (Client mode) - (6). Minimal possible value is 10 sec. The value in the Ping frequency (sec.) field 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 (7).

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