EMT is monitoring the connection to the controller(s) by periodically sending a Ping and checking if the controller replies.
On slow connections (remote, VPN,…) it can be necessary to adjust the ping settings.

  • Ping Every: set how often EMT should send a Ping (ping every 1-10 second, default 2)
  • Ping Timeout: set how long EMT should wait for reply (100 – 10000ms, default 500ms)
  • Ping Retries: If a reply is missed, EMT will retry a ping a number of times before the connection to the controller is reported as lost (0-5 retries, default 2).
  • Default Export Format: sets which format the Export functions should use by default.
  • Allow Send/Get: Unchecking this option will disable the Send/Get buttons in the Configuration view.
  • Start in Monitoring Mode: If this is checked, EMT will automatically switch to the Monitoring View when launched.
  • AutoConnect: When EMT is launced and the database is loaded, EMT will automatically connect to the Controller(s) and start monitoring.
  • Display Alerts and Warnings: When this is unchecked, EMT will not display the popup windows when Faults and Warnings arrive

Availability

This function is available from Exigo Management Tool (EMT) 1.5.3.0 and newer.
