The URTime brand offers various hardware that can communicate with Wiclax.
URT800
The URT800 model can be connected directly to the PC via TCP-IP. The connection can be wired (with an RJ45 cable) or via Wifi.
URT800
The URT800 is identified on the network by an IP address. This address is displayed at the bottom of the main window. Here it is the address 192.168.1.55.
You will need to make sure that the IP address of the PC hosting Wiclax is part of the same subnet. In this case, the IP address of your PC (or rather of your PC's network card) will need to start with 192.168.1. and have a different address than the URT800. For example 192.168.1.5.
In wired mode, the URT800 can be connected directly to a PC with an RJ45 cable. In practice, it is often wise to position a network component between the two, which could be a simple switch, or a router-modem possibly doubled with a WIFI access point function.
The first utility of this network component will be to allow the connection of several URT800s to a single PC: this is the typical case of an arrival line with a URT800 on the line and a URT800 in backup, a few meters further.
Once the URT800 and the PC hosting Wiclax have been connected to the network and they both have an IP of the same subnet, the connection can be established in Wiclax.
First, we will need to create a URTime type acquisition in the acquisitions window:
To connect to the URT800, you need to
- specify the URT800 IP address: here 192.168.1.55.
- enter the port associated with this IP: port 6546 is entered by default for a URTime connection and there is no reason to change it, unless it has been modified on the hardware side.
- click Connect. If the connection is successfully established, the Connect button will change into a Disconnect button. .
