The start of the VdrPort log file contains the date and time (year/month/day
hours:min:sec.msec
), and the equivalent tick count. Events are logged to two
files: VdrPortLog.000 and VdrPortLog.001.

ProLink

ProLink monitors Profile Protocol calls over RS-422 communication lines,
allowing you to use a device such as the PRC100 Control Panel or other third-
party device to communicate with a Profile system. The PRC100 is a discrete
control panel that provides conventional VTR-type control of Profile systems.
Simply double-click the ProLink shortcut icon on the desktop to start it (or
choose

Start | PDR Applications | ProLink

), then select the port that your device

is connected to (P1 through P8).

PortServer

PortSever allows you to control a Profile unit remotely using Ethernet
communications. For example, you can run PortServer on a remote Profile
system so that you can access it from a local Profile using your LAN. Simply
double-click the PortServer shortcut icon on the desktop to start it (or choose

Start | PDR Applications | PortServer

). The PortServer interface is shown in

Figure 98.
