i-PORT General:
Standard i-PORT settings such as type, external devices, etc.
i-PORT Type 2 possibilities: “Fix” and “mobile VisuMC”
Enter the i-PORT type here. Standard type is “Fix”, this means that the
i-PORT is stationary. Currently only special software “MobileVisuMC” still
available.
i-PORT Main ID i-PORT identifier for event messages (Area ID)
i-PORT SubID i-PORT identifier for event messages (Area SubID)
i-PORT SerDevice Used to select the type of device connected to the serial port. This
functionality has not been implemented at this time.
i-PORT Longitude Longitude co-ordinates
i-PORT Latitude Latitude co-ordinates
Host Connection:
These are settings used if the i-PORT is to be connected to a host computer (currently only
“Mobile VisuMC”).
Host IPAddr Host computer IP address
Host Port Host computer port
Host TimeOut i-PORT timeout
Host SyncInterval Interval for synchronizing i-PORT time (if a GPS device is connected,
time is synchronized with GPS time)
Host SendInterval Interval for sending messages to host computer
Host ListSize When this value is reached, the list is sent to the host computer
Debug Config:
Settings for the Debug output (Port 7090). If a check-box is selected, that parameter is valid.
Debug HostMirror Output on Debug Port of all data that is exchanged on the Host Interface
(serial or Ethernet).
Debug TagList Time after which a tag list is outputted on the Debug Port (“0” means no
output)
Debug NewTag Output of newly-recognized tags (Note the Inhibit Time!!)
Debug ScanTag Output of tag list after sequence execution (see Page 28)
Synchronization:
Settings when several i-PORTs are located in a small space, necessitating synchronization.
After marking the check-box, the IPs of the other i-PORTs can be entered into the designated
field.
Neighbour(s) IP Enter IP addresses of the neighbouring i-PORTs
Timeout Timeout for synchronization
Scan:
i-PORT settings for the scan process.
Mode: 3 possibilities: “Host Only”, “Continuous” and “Input 1”
“Host Only” means that the i-PORT waits for commands, processes them, and is
otherwise inactive. “Continuous” means that the i-PORT performs continuous
scans. “Input 1” mode has not been implemented at this time.
Slot Select Number of slots in which tags can answer. This is part of the anti-collision
process. Set at least double the amount of slots as the maximum number of
tags that can be located in the zone at one time. The elapsed time per slot in
which tags can answer is 1.2 ms.
Num of Scans In “Test Mode”, this is also the number of scans.
Scan Pause Pause inserted by i-PORT after each sequence (see page 28)
