Hello guys,

When the dongle on the Server side missed,on Client side how to know the dongle of the server is missing?

I think if there is a variable to be used to monitor the status of the dongle.

BRS,
Mark

You must execute cyclically the SB instruction SVKEY("READ", ...)
The ResultVar must be produced by the server and consumed by the client.

Now, you have new SYSTEM variables.

SYSTEM.LOCALHOST.KEY.OK
SYSTEM.LOCALHOST.KEY.WarningLevel

Yes Anthony but it doesnt solve the Mark's question: He wants to display on the Client the status of Server's dongle...
That's why I didnt indicate that 😉

Thank you both.

I create a alarm variable and set it for networking use.Using Expression to set the value of SYSTEM.LOCALHOST.KEY.OK to the alarm variable. then at the client station there is an alarm to inform operators when the dongle of server missing.

I think this solution can satisfy the customer.
