Edit the client list

The configuration interface appears with an empty client list the first time that CP-Link 3 Configuration is started:

config_01_emptyconfig

Clients can be added to the client list by clicking Broadcast Search or on Add Client. Clients can be removed from the client list with a click on Remove Client.

Activate the settings with Apply

The procedure must be completed by clicking Apply in order to finally write the changes into the client list.

Broadcast Search

The Broadcast Search function makes it possible to search automatically for devices in the network that are CP-Link 3-capable. Devices found by the Broadcast Search can be adopted into the client list.

Windows Firewall

If the Windows Firewall is enabled, the UPnP service must be authorized in the Windows Firewall if automatic searching for CP-Link 3-capable devices is to work.

If it is necessary to make modifications in the Windows Firewall, the following dialog will appear when clicking on the Broadcast Search button:

config_02_broadcastsearch_firewall

The UPnP service is authorized in the Windows Firewall by clicking Yes. Clicking No will leave all the Windows Firewall settings unchanged, as a result of which it will not be possible to search through the Broadcast Search.

➢: The Windows Firewall is properly configured.

1.: Click the Broadcast Search button.

2.: In the CP-Link 3 Broadcast Search window click on Start Search.

⇨: The search for UPnP devices in the network is started, the devices which are found are monitored.

3.: Add the desired device by clicking the Add button or by double-clicking, it will then appear in the client list.

4.: Whether or not the IP address of the new device is already present in the client list is checked when a client is added. If it is, a dialog opens through which the action can be cancelled or the client overwritten.

5.: If clients have just been added to the client list, they remain marked in green in the status field in front of the client name until the changes have been adopted by clicking Apply.

Add Client

If a client is not yet present in the network, or is not UPnP-capable, it can be added manually by means of Add Client:

config_05_addedclientswithaddclient

When a client is added through Add Client, standard settings for the Name, the IP Address and the Comment are loaded. These settings may need to be modified.

If clients have just been added to the client list, they remain marked in green in the status field in front of the client name until the changes have been adopted by clicking Apply.

Remove Client

Remove Client can be used to delete clients from the client list.

config_06_clientmarkedforremoval

The labelling and the behaviour of the button depends on the colour of the status field for the selected client:

▪: The status field is coloured green (the button is labelled Remove Client):

: The client will be removed immediately from the client list by clicking Remove Client.

▪: The status field is coloured white (the button is labelled Remove Client):

: The status field is coloured red until the change is adopted by clicking Apply. Only then is the client finally removed from the client list.

▪: The status field is already coloured red (the button is labelled Undo Removal):

: The removal mark will be removed by clicking on the button again.

▪: The status fields of a number of selected clients have different colours (the button is labelled Toggle Removal Marks):

: Clients that are green will be removed immediately from the client list, clients that are marked in red will have their removal mark removed, while the status field for clients whose status field is white will turn red.

If clients are to be removed from the client list, and if they are marked red in the status field in front of the client name, the changes will not finally be adopted till Apply is clicked.
