describes this method. Once the unit is network compatible the rest of the configuration
can be done through Unit Configuration.
Unit Configuration is a VisualBasic
®
program that provides a simple graphical way to
query and configure any ScanVue5
®
unit. It uses the ScanVue5
®
mode commands
(Chapter 5) to setup the unit. This program is available in both source and executable
form.
Modeset is a DOS command line program equivalent to UnitConfig that can query and
set modes through a text file or directly from the directory prompt.
Ex: modeset [mode value] sets the mode to the specified value
modeset –g [mode] returns the value of the mode
modeset lists all non-hidden modes and their values
Using Unit Configuration
When the program is first started, all boxes in the screen are blank. Enter the IP
address of the ScanVue5
®
unit you wish to change in the Unit IP Address box. Click
the Read Modes button–all the Modes and their Content (values) will be read from the
subject unit and displayed as shown in Fig. 9.
To change a mode; highlight the New Content box in the same row as the mode you
want to change by clicking on it. Enter the new value in the box and click the Set Mode
button. If the value is accepted, the box and the button will turn green. If it is not
accepted, the box and button will turn red. Now click the Commit button, this will
commit the change to flash memory in the ScanVue5
®
unit. Multiple changes can be
made before committing them. If any of the changes are not accepted, the Set Mode
button will turn red and those changes marked in red were not made.
Clicking the Close button will blank the screen including the IP address box and allow a
new IP address, hence a new unit to be selected.
Clicking the TextReset button will apply changes made to text modes so they can be
seen immediately. As with other modes, the changes are not permanently stored until
the Commit button is clicked.
The SaveToFile button will save the setup to a text file where it can be stored and
printed if necessary. This is usually done for troubleshooting or maintaining hard copy
records of each unit’s configuration.
The Restart Unit button will cause a ‘soft boot’ of the selected unit.
Clicking on the Help button brings up a help screen that is a brief overview of how to use
the program. Additionally, the light color area at the bottom of the screen will display
context sensitive help for each mode as the mode is highlighted. For some modes, the
values available are indicated in this area. Other modes (for example Serial Number)
cannot be changed and will always turn the New Content box and Set Mode button red.
The Exit button closes the Unit Configuration program.
