Configuring Systems

The following sections describe how to configure systems using the GoPxL web interface.

GoPxL can run on a sensor, or you can run GoPxL on a Windows PC and connect to a sensor from the application (in order to increase performance, for example). When GoPxL runs on a PC, we call this a local or PC instance of GoPxL. For applications where performance is critical, you should use the PC version of GoPxL to improve sensor performance. With some sensor models, such as Gocator 5500 series sensors, LMI strongly recommends using the PC version of GoPxL.

To configure GoPxL when it is running on-sensor, you connect directly to the sensor's IP address (by default, 192.168.1.10.). To configure GoPxL when it is running on a PC, you connect to the IP address of the PC instance. If you can't connect to your sensor or the PC instance of GoPxL, use the GoPxL Discovery tool to find it and launch the GoPxL interface (for more information, see GoPxL Discovery Tool).

The interface of the sensor and the PC versions of GoPxL are nearly identical. For this reason, you can use this section to configure sensors whether you are using GoPxL on a sensor or on a PC. If you need to run the PC version of GoPxL, see Running GoPxL on a Windows PC first.

For information on configuring sensors programmatically, see See GoPxL SDK and REST API.
