8.3. Remote Control Software Registry Entries
It can also be necessary to intervene in the registry directly in order to enter the MERK II’s
to be controlled. In such a case, proceed as follows:
• Open the group
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mayah Communications\Centauri remote” in the
Windows registry
• Create a new sub-registry with the name “IP”.
• Create three new keys in the sub-registry “IP” with the names
– Address
– IPControl
– Port
• If more than 1 MERK II is to be controlled, create an own key for each further MERK II
to be controlled in the group “IP” in addition to “Address” with the name
– Address1 (for the first MERK II)
– Address2 (for the second MERK II)
– .... etc.
• Allocate the following values to the keys
– Address: IP Address of your momentary MERK II (e.g. “10.0.0.10”)
– IPControl: “TRUE” for IP Control and “FALSE” for RS232 Control
– Port: '2000'
Port 2000 in the registry has nothing to do with Port 2001 that is entered in the
MERK II under “Network”! A change of one or both of these values results in
communication problems!
– Address1: IP Address of the first MERK II to be controlled
– Address2: IP Address of the second MERK II to be controlled
– .... etc.
• Please take into account:
– All entries are “case sensitive”. In other words, a strict difference is made between
higher and lower case for all entries.
– The IP Address must correspond to the subnetwork mask of your network.
