The standard network support of the system includes light client stations (thin clients), on which the entire supervision system is not performed, but only the user interface functions and any local services are activated.
To start X Vision on client stations, simply run the ClientXStart program (ClientXStart80.exe)

ClientXStart activates the viewer (if enabled) and the notification agent; the notification agent checks the system status and notifies new alarms with the activation of the beeper and/or announcer, according to what is configured, allowing to close the viewer and recall it only when needed. 

While the system is active, the product icon in the system tray is displayed. A context menu allows you to call up the viewer, silence the horn and close the system.

The activation must be done by specifying the full project pathin the command line, in the same way as shown for the activation of the XStart module on the server station.

In particular, the command line to start ClientXStart is as follows:


 

<ClientXStart full Path and name> [/P<Project path>] [/V][/S]

 

where:

 

<ClientXStart full Path and name>  

is the absolute path of the ClientXStart80.EXE module, enclosed in quotation marks ("). For example:


"C:\Program files(x86)\Crickets Automation\X Vision 8.0\ClientXStart80.exe"

 

/P<Project path> 

represents the absolute path of the project directory to be activated, contained in the Projects folder of the X Vision installation directory. The path must be preceded by the argument "/P". This parameter is mandatory. e.g.:


/PC:\Program files(x86)\Crickets Automation\X Vision 8.0\Projects\Demo

 

Note: even if the path contains one or more spaces, since it is a parameter it must not be enclosed in quotes ("), as it happens for the path of the executable: between the" /P "delimiter and the project path there should not be spaces.


 

[/S]
it is an optional parameter. If entered, it disables the activation of X View at the start of the module, not however preventing its subsequent manual activation from the context menu relative to the TrayIcon.


 

[/V]
it is an optional parameter. If inserted, disables the activation of X View at the start of the module and any subsequent manual activation from the context menu relative to the TrayIcon.


 

The command line syntax described can also be used to create a link to activate the client system. The link can be created manually or through the appropriate commands in the NetClientConfigurator utility (see chapter "Configuring client stations using NetClientConfigurator").
