OPUS Projektor Manual
Simulations
To start the ethernet interface the value 1 needs to be written to the variable
@Ethernet0_applynstart. After that the network interface should be running.
This only has to be done if the value of variable @Ethernet0_UpAtStart is not
set.
To enable ethernet automatically at each cold boot use the variable
@Ethernet0_UpAtStart. Set value 1 to this variable if the ethernet interface
shall be automatically started. If value 0 is set, the variable
@Ethernet0_applynstart has to be set (see above).
4. Enable or disable simulation mode
To enable simulation mode write the value 1 to the variable
@PClientSimulationMode in the Projekt variable group. After that the PClient
will listen to connection attempts from variable simulation on ethernet.
Steps 1 to 3 only have to be done only once since PClient remembers those settings.
A common way to enable simulation mode is:
·
Set the variable values from step 1 to 3 in a script (e.g. project init)
·
Create a kind of service page were the simulation mode can be enabled (e.g.
with a latching button)
Troubleshooting
If the connection via ethernet fails, the following might help:
·
Make sure that @PClientSimulationMode is set to 0 before changing any
network variable or port. When setting the network variables is finished
enable simulation as last step (set 1 to @PClientSimulationMode)
·
Make sure that all network variables were correctly written to the hardware
interface: Log in via serial console and type the command ifconfig eth0.
Make sure that "inet addr" contains the correct IP address and "Mask"
contains the correct netmask for your network.
·
Another way to check if the connection settings are OK, the device can be
"pinged". Open a DOS command prompt and type ping <IP_ADDRESS>.
Were <IP_ADDRESS> is the address set in step 1 above (e.g. ping
192.168.135.2). If the output of that command shows timeouts, something is
wrong with the settings.
·
Restart the the complete device after setting the network variables. Enable
network interface and simulation mode after the restart.
·
Contact the local network admin to get help about the correct IP address and
port that should be used in the network.
Ethernet settings for the variable simulation
To connect to a PClient running on a device with enabled simulation mode, the
following settings have to be made in the Simulation Settings dialog:
·
Connection Settings
o PClient runs: On panel
o IP Address: The IP address used by PClient on the device (see
@Ethernet0_IPAddress and step 1 above)
