To configure communication between Agent of Control and Control Server:

  1. Go to the configuration panel for the Partition Of Control object.
  2. Click the Transmitting... button. A dialog box opens with settings for configuring the communication method between Agent of Control and Control Server.

  3. In the Connect to Control Server drop-down list select the Client mode as the methods for connecting Agent of Control to Control Server (1).

    The Server mode is not used.

  4. In the Connection type drop-down list, select one of the possible values for the transport level (2): TCP/IP or RS232.
  5. If RS232 is selected in the Connection type field, specify values in the COM port, COM port speed, and COM port format fields (3).
  6. If Client mode is used to connect to Control Server and TCP/IP is selected in the Connection type field, in this dialog box you should indicate the IP address and TCP port of Control Server (4).
  7. When still frames or video is sent to Control Server, the data is transferred in packets. The packet size is specified by the setting named I/O buffer (bytes) (5). For maximum data transfer speed, you are advised to use the value 4096. For poor connections, such as if a GSM modem is used, you are advised to use the value 800.
  8. In the Ping frequency (sec.) field, enter the time interval at which Agent of Control will send messages about its technical state to Control Server (if Client mode is selected) (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 from Agent of Control to Server of Control immediately after corresponding sensors triggering. Some long-term alarms can also be an exception: for more info see the document Monitoring. Operator's Guide, section Appendix 1. Data update periods summary
  9. Click OK (7).

Configuration of communication between Agent of Control and Control Server is now complete.
