2.9 DISPATCHER INSTALLATION
2.9.1 The DAMM Dispatcher Application
The DAMM TetraFlex
®
Dispatcher is a Windows application consisting of the core
TetraFlexApi.dll and the associated Graphical User Interface.
The DAMM TetraFlexApi.dll contains all the functionality to connect to the TetraFlex
®
Network and has a fully documented API to interface with the GUI.
The dispatcher is delivered with a Multi Lingual Graphical User Interface. The DAMM
dispatcher is generic and intended for standard use. In case the user wants additional
features, this may be accomplished by programming their own application or obtaining a third
party application using the delivered TetraFlexApi.dll and the TetraFlexApi.h file
The TetraFlexApi.dll connects to an Application Gateway on a TetraFlex
®
node via a
standard WAN IP connection.
For API installation, please refer to the Application Gateway installation section.
2.9.2 Dispatcher Installation:
The Dispatcher can only be installed outside the BSC, on a separate PC. It connects to the
Application Gateway of the TetraFlex
®
through the WAN port.
Prerequisite for this connection to be successful is that the WAN port of an Application GW
node is physically connected to a network - and that the WAN port of the BSC/ Windows is
configured with an IP address inside the same subnet as the PC on which the Dispatcher is
going to reside.
The dongle marked "API" must be inserted in the USB port of the Dispatcher PC before
installing the Dispatcher. For the DAMM Dispatcher a dispatcher entry in the dongle must be
present to allow the DAMM Dispatcher to start up. For a third party dispatcher, this entry is
not relevant.
When the BSC.exe is started, the Dispatcher installation files are automatically placed in the
C:\Tetra\Share\Dispatcher directory on the nodes:
By accessing the share on the node where the Application Gateway is setup from an external
PC, the Dispatcher Setup.exe can be executed and the Dispatcher installation starts.
