Client/Server Option for the WR-G69DDC (EXCELSIOR Ultra) Receivers

The Networking Version needs to be installed on both the remote system (the Server) and the control computer (the Client). As the networking version installer already includes the full WR-G69DDC application, the standard (non-networking) WR-G69DDC application does not need to be installed separately.

Server Operation

The network server window makes it possible to control the WR-G69DDC server, log network events and manage connected clients.

The server software makes it possible to specify listening network port, maximum client connection time, maximum number of client connections, etc.

The Event Log contains a history of all server status changes, i.e. connection activity, audio format changes, errors, etc., to assist with troubleshooting of possible network connection issues.

The Clients window displays detailed network usage statistics for each connected client. It also makes it possible to disconnect selected clients.

The Traffic tab displays server's network traffic and network traffic history graph.

Client Operation

The operation of the remote receiver via the client computer is very similar to that of a locally-connected WR-G69DDC receiver. Exactly the same graphical user interface is offered to the client user as if the receiver was connected directly to the client's computer, even though in reality it can be located on the opposite side of the globe.

There are numerous controls available in the client set-up window, which make is possible to allocate network resources to suit the user's requirements, for example trade off resolution bandwidth and refresh rate of the real-time spectrum displays for audio quality, etc.

Several useful connection profiles are provided for common situations in a typical network infrastructure, each offering a different trade-off between the required data throughput, the resolution bandwidth and refresh rate of spectrum displays. There are three predefined and three user-configurable profiles available.
