Client Server Configuration page
By means of the EK80 Client application, you can monitor the survey operations made on the EK80. The necessary settings required to allow the client to communicate with the EK80 are defined on this page.
Prerequisites
The Installation dialog box is not available when your EK80 system is set to Replay mode.
How to open
This page is located in the Installation dialog box. To open the page, select Installation on the Setup menu.
Description
The communication between the EK80 Client application and the EK80 can be made using the vessel’s local area network.
In this context the EK80 Processor Unit is regarded as the "server". The computer that runs the EK80 client application is the "client".
To establish the communication, the Client computer must know the Ethernet address of the Server computer.
Details
Run as Server
Select this check box to enable the EK80 to run in Server mode.
This mode does not have any effect on the EK80 operation and functionality. It simply allows the Client computer to connect.
IP Address
This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Ethernet interface adapter located in your computer. In most cases, each Ethernet adapter has a unique IP address, even when it supports multiple sockets. If you have more than one Ethernet adapter, you are provided with a list of the available addresses.
Choose which Ethernet adapter you will use on the Processor Unit to communicate with the Client computer. When the EK80 Client application starts, this Ethernet address will appear in the opening dialog box, and you can establish contact.
