Two laptops with RT Station

[rick....@sncorp.com]

Hello,

We're trying to get 2 laptops working with IADS RT Station licenses to both get data from a single data source and network switch at the same time. We tried hooking them both up, but after a couple of minutes, the data on the 2nd laptop stops updating. I was reading some old documentation saying to add "/Server machineName to the Target line". Is this still applicable and all that is required to get the 2nd laptop to serve as a client?

Thanks for the help.

Hello Rick,

 

The method you describe will only function if your RTStation license includes the capability to allow external Client connections.  You can determine this by running the IADS Key Manager and clicking the Visualize button in the lower right.   On the resulting Key Visualizer screen will see if the Server portion is setup to allow Remote Connections.

 

If it is, you can edge a 2^nd RTStation system to connect to the first using the command line switches you mention.  Another method would be to launch the IADS Playback Client and select the Existing tab in the wizard.  If the two machine are on the same local subnet you will see a link to any actively running servers.

 

The concerning mystery in your description is that the 2^nd laptop was working fine as a full RTStation system but then stopped.  You might want to troubleshoot that as well.  Do you still have the Logs folder from that failure condition?

Regards,

Mike

Hi Rick,

Yes, using the /server machineName command line option is one method to have a client. Alternatively (and a little counterintuitively), you can run the "Iads Playback Client", click on the "Existing" tab in the start wizard and you should see the RtStation server in the panel next to the "Load Config" icon. 

I seem to remember running the realtime client and having a 'browse for computer' dialog popup as a third method, but I don't recall how to activate that feature. Maybe someone else will chime in.

If you want a quick and permanent way to connect, yes creating a shortcut that directly points to the other RtStation PC is the quickest and least error prone way to go. Just copy the existing playback client shortcut and set the command line arguments to /server machineName.

Let us know if you have any other questions,

Jim
