DIGI IX30 Serial connection issues

Serial Servers & Infrastructure Mangement

Hiya,

Here is my problem:

Up until now I have been using the DIGI WR31(with a simcard which is attached to a VPN), to connect a Leica total station to my WR31 serial connection on the front of the unit, via RS232 and operating the total station via software(Geomos) remotely on another machine.

I recently bought the DIGI IX30 and am having a real difficulty in getting the same setup working.

Can someone please help or explain, is the IX30 not compatible to work over RS232? or maybe there are major limitations?

the UI and OS is very different also, therefore its impossible to just copy the configuration file or match the settings, everything is COMPLETELY different.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hello,

The IX30 runs a more modern Operating System called DAL, so it’s expected that the UI is very different.

Technically speaking, how does this Geomos software communicate with the Leica total station through the WR31? For example, does it use a COM port number (if it’s running on a Windows computer)? Or does it connect through a TCP Socket? Do you know? Once we know the answer to this, we can provide relevant documentation on how to setup the IX30 for your needs.
