File/Export (To Terminal)

Define the following things for export to PDA:

Export path

Unique directories

Parameters

Delete after transfer.

The export path can be separated into unique directories by e.g. serial number of

the clients, so they are not using every file in the export path but only those who

are designated in their directory named by their serial number. The “Parameter”

field decides how you want to use unique directories.

Delete after transfer is can global files, PDA specific files or both.

File/Import (From Terminal)

Define the following things for import from Terminal:

Import path

Delete files

Imported files

Unique directories

Parameters

The import path can be separated into unique directories by e.g. serial number of

the clients, so the PDA can deliver the files in the designated directory named by

their serial number. The “Parameter” field decides how you want to use unique

directories.

Delete Files should be checked if you want the files on the client to be deleted after

transfer to the Delfi COM Center.

Imported files can be handled by appending the existing files or to overwrite

existing files.

Monitor:

1. Go to Monitor

The Monitor tab lists a current overview of the clients communicating with the Delfi

Communication Center, whether it is by Ethernet Cradle, Wi-Fi or Direct

Communication (USB). The only major difference is when it is communicating by

TCP/IP, then the lines have the serial number of the clients as an ID. In the left

side of each line there is a clock icon, hovering over this will tell you the exact date

and time of the current event.

Each line is a new event and provides information of what is happening, e.g. now

a client sends a request to start communication, now the Delfi Communication

Center is receiving files from client etc. There are two buttons, one Save and one

Clear. Save is saving the lines in the monitor into an .XML file and Clear simply just

clears the Monitor list.
