VSD Operation
Connecting VSD to the Routing System
When the routing system has been configured to support VSD, you will be
able to connect VSD to the system.
If the VSD program launches into a disc
onnected state, clicking on the
Connect button
opens a window allowing entry of the IP address of the
Encore SCB or Prelude control panel you wish to connect to (Figure 12).
Figure 12. VSD Connect Window
If the program is unable to connect to the primary server, it will attempt to
connect to the backup server (if one was specified). If this second connec-
tion attempt also fails, an error message will be displayed and the VSD
app
lication will not be operational.
On successful connection a Level Selection window appears (Figure 19 on
page 32), allowing you to select the Levels
to be displayed on the screen.
VSD License Key Registration
The VSD will operate in Trial Mode until a valid license key is entered. Trial
Mode is fully functional, but limits to five the maximum number of ele-
ments in each View.
Two levels of licensing exist. Both ve
rsions remove the five element max-
imum, but the Full license is required to
activate the Event Stacker feature.
