3.4.10 Testing Server and FEP communication

After you have connected and activated the PAK, and rebooted the PC, you should

verify that the Server and FEP stations (if any) are communicating correctly. You do

this with the System Supervisor Browser (For more information on the System

Supervisor Browser, see A4 - Using the System Sup

ervisor Browser [➙ 92]):

 Select Start > Programs > MK8000 > System Supervisor Browser.

Testing the communication

To test Server-to-FEP communication, do the following:

1. Log on to the Server and FEPs.

2. If the Server tasks did not start automatically, start them manually:

Start > Programs > MK8000 > Start MK8000 Servers

3. Launch the System Supervisor Browser:

Start > Programs > MK8000 > Launch System Supervisor Browser

4. Check the task icons displayed by the System Supervisor Browser: they should all

be green.

5. Check that all of the FEPs are listed.

6. Select each FEP and verify that the right pane of each shows green icons for all

tasks.

7. Check that all of the configured drivers are listed.

3.4.11 Setting up Composer security

Composer tool includes security checks to ensure that only authorised users can start

and operate Composer software.

Composer access security can be enabled during software setup [➙ 26].

When Composer is started, the logged-in user is checked and compared to the User

Manager list: if the user is present in the list, then Composer opens; otherwise an error

message displays and Composer stops.

Composer users may or may not be included in the MK8000 users defined for any

given project.

Composer User Manager

The User Manager tool is a simple application that allows configuring the Windows

users who can start Composer, create new projects, run the configuration commands,

and access the node information. For more information, see the

Composer Technical

Manual

(A6V10062401).
