7.1.1 Connecting to MLX200 Control Module Display Remotely
In some installations, it may not be possible to easily access the MLX200
Control Module in order to connect a monitor to view the {Status Display}
screen. A remote display application, named cerhost.exe, is supplied
along with the MLX200 system for such a situation. A user can run this
application on a separate computer and remotely access the display of the
MLX200 Control Module. This section describes how to run the remote
display application and establish a connection.
First step is to ensure that the User PC is connected to the same network
as the MLX200 Control Module, using a wired Ethernet connection. The
User PC should be running a Windows operating system (XP or later) in
order to be able to run the remote display application.
The remote display application can be run by double clicking on
cerhost.exe using Windows Explorer. This will bring up a screen as shown
in Fig.7-2 "MLX200 Control Module Remote Display Application Initial
Screen".

Screen
The IP addresses of the User PC, and the MLX200 Control
Module must be such that they are in the same subnet, in
order to be able to communicate with each other. The IP
addresses of these must be 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx can
be any number between 1 and 255 that is not used by other
devices in the same network. The default IP address of
MLX200 Control Module is 192.168.1.200 and the user can
change the last number of this IP Address using the
{Maintenance} screens (See Section 7.2.3 “Changing the IP
Address of the MLX200 Control Module” on page 7-7 for
more information). If the IP address of the User PC is not
192.168.1.xxx, then the user has to change the IP address
of the User PC using the Windows network settings before
attempting to connect to the MLX200 Control Module.
