This page describes the device driver and the device window for the TimeLink Microsystems distributor TMD series 10MHz/TimeCode distributor devices with redundant input. The driver covers the following devices:
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .
--- Shows the device status and controls input selection and operation mode.
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
The TimeLink devices use a text based protocol over UDP, the 'address' configuration parameter must be set as shown below.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The driver expects the 'address' parameter to be set to the device's IP address, followed by a colon and the port used by the device. Factory default for the port number is 9500, but this may be changed through the Web-GUI of these devices. Example: 192.168.1.245:9500 |
| deviceComment | An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines. |
