Topcon PC-CDU - Internet Client Mode

13
After the Connect button is pressed, the dialog windows Chat and Main will be
displayed. The Chat window allows an operator running PC-CDU Client to communicate with
his/her counterpart who runs the corresponding remote receiver with PC-CDU Server. In addition,
this dialog window displays information about the server’s current status.
3.1.3. ‘Internet Client’ Mode
The user selects Internet Client mode when it is required to access a remote receiver that is
directly connected with and controlled by a computer on which PC-CDU Server is being run (the
obvious pre-condition is that both computers must have access to the Internet.).
After a connection to the remote receiver is established, the user can control this receiver exactly in
the same manner as if the user’s computer were directly connected to the receiver, specifically:
send commands to the remote receiver, download log files from the receiver’s memory, etc. In or-
der to be able to connect to the remote receiver, the user first needs to configure his/her computer
as a
PC-CDU Client capable of working with the corresponding PC-CDU Server .
The user is required to know the following information about the
PC-CDU Server :
• IP or DNS address;
• TCP port number;
• password (if necessary).
Figure 7. shows an example of the Connection Parameters dialog window with the follow-
ing settings:
• PC-CDU Server’s IP address: 194.85.135.59;
• TCP port number: 8000;
• Password is not used.
In the Host name edit box the user can enter either the server’s IP address (it
is 194.85.135.59 in the given example) or its DNS address (it is pab.topconps.com
in this case).
