7.2 Control Program
The Control Program provides the user access to the MRR-2 through the
MRR-Service. The correct installation and the automatic start of the service
program are required for a successful start of Control Program. The Control
Program allows controlling the MRR-2 also by PCs which are not connected
directly to the MRR-2.
It is necessary that there is a network connection to that PC on which the
MRR-Service was started. This network connection may be either a local
connection (LAN, Ethernet) or a remote access connection (RAS) which is
built up using the Internet or public telephone.
For this remote operation a login at the remote MRR-Service is necessary
when you start the program. This ensures that only one user is accessing the
MRR-2.
There are no special network installations needed because no network
protocol dependent functions are used between the service and the user
interface.
The following picture shows an example for a remote access where the
network connection is performed by a RAS connection. The Control Program
on PC #2 uses the network and the MRR-Service on PC #1 to communicate
with the MRR-2. The data recording and the event logging is executed on PC
#1 which is connected directly to the MRR-2:
