NETWORKING AND CONTROL
Although there are no front panel controls, the DGy 201 includes the
following networking and control capabilities:
•RS-232 capability for command-line control. The RS-232 serial
port connects to an ASCII terminal, any computer with a serial
port or an external device such as a touchpad. Commands are
sent from the terminal or computer to the DGy 201. In
Chapter 6, refer to the “Command Set List” section for details.
•The Ethernet port (10/100BaseT) allows multiple DGy 201
systems to be connected to a local area network (LAN), or
directly to a PC properly equipped with a network card. Note
that direct connection requires the use of an Ethernet hub or
Ethernet crossover cable. This method allows you to use a
Telnet session or a standard web browser to access DGy 201’s
internal Web Control Panel (GUI).
•Teln et and web server control capability.
•Remote storage / replay capability. Files can be transferred
using the standard FTP protocol or with the Remote Disk Mount
option to a remote computer or RAID file server (Windows XP
OS using Allegro server software or Linux OS). Typical
compression ratios will allow users to transfer 30 fps at 1280 x
1024 over a dedicated 100 Base-T Ethernet link. Replay can
then be accomplished on the remote computer independent of
the DGy 201 recorder.
