Network settings in VIOSO

Settings for multiclient usage

These settings apply when multiple instances of VIOSO are connected via network to execute scalable calibrations.

Access from Menu > Options > Settings > Multi client:

Common Settings

These settings should be checked and adjusted whenever a new configuration of PCs is made, or if changes in the network happened.

• Check "Enable" to enable multiclient functionality

• Adapter: Select the network interface - in case you have multiple NICs on your system

All VIOSO 6 instances must use the adaptor from the same network. E.g.: PC1: 192.168.49.10, PC2: 192.168.49.11, etc This will not work: PC1: 192.168.0.10 , PC2: 192.168.20.11

Other settings

These settings should be be left as is, so do change them only if there are issues within the network:

• Control Port and Information Port: These ports are required for the communication bewtween the VIOSO instances. Do not change unless they conflict with other applications on the same PCs.

  Defaults ports as of VIOSO 6.0):

  • Control: 8417

  • Information: 8517

Changes of Control Port and Information Port must be done on all PCs in the same way!

• Receive Buffer: Change only if there are issues due to the networking hardware

• Subnet mask clamp: Change only if required by the network adress scheme

Settings for Remote Control

These settings apply to remote control VIOSO by external applications.

Access from Menu > Options > Settings > Remote Control:

The TCP and UDP interfaces are enabled by default, listening all network adapters.

• Change the adapter from 0.0.0.0 (all adapters) to a specific adapter to restrict the remote control functionality to this network interface
