Unravel Process

Hmm, couple of ways.

1. If you're working with a database first (off site) you can write a script to process the XML and readdress all the units. Then on-site the unravel will move units to locations matching the database.

2. If you're working with a network first (on site) you can first unravel it in Toolkit, then telnet to C-Gate (20023), "project use myproj" and execute "set 254/p/1 Address 100", "set 254/p/2 Address 101", one after the other. Or do this with a script. Then rescan in TK, transfer to DB and done.

 

You can try this, but note you will need to tailor it to suit your needs. Use at your own risk!

1. In Windows 7, first enable Telnet. (See instructions at bottom of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(v=ws.10).aspx)

2. Create a Visual Basic file, eg. script.vbs containing something like:

Code:

Option explicit
Dim oShell
set oShell= Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "telnet"
WScript.Sleep 1000
oShell.Sendkeys "open localhost 20023~"
WScript.Sleep 1000
oShell.Sendkeys "project load myproj~"
WScript.Sleep 1000
oShell.Sendkeys "project use myproj~"
WScript.Sleep 1000
oShell.Sendkeys "net open 254~"
WScript.Sleep 60000
oShell.Sendkeys "set 254/p/1 Address 100~"
WScript.Sleep 1000
oShell.Sendkeys "set 254/p/2 Address 101~"
WScript.Sleep 10000
oShell.Sendkeys "exit~"
Wscript.Quit

3. Modify the script to your needs. If the network takes more than 60 seconds to sync when opened, adjust the sleep time. If you have already opened it in toolkit, you can remove the "net open" step entirely. Add additional readdress commands as needed.

4. Run the script. You will see it opening a telnet window and executing the commands.

5. Rescan the network in Toolkit.
