21 MANAGING BARRACUDA in GROUPS
Barracuda Coders can be managed / accessed either as single Units, or in groups. To manage Barracuda in Groups,
You will need to assign each unit with a identification code, composed by a Device Number and a Group Number.
This give the users the highest flexibility in controlling units individually or in groups, by sharing same commands among
several units or forcing an individual unit with a specific address to execute a broadcast command.
The Device Number and the Group Name will be given to each Barracuda using a dedicated tool, called Target Edit
Manager and included in the Smart Coder Remoter software suite.
The same tool allows also to provide each individual unit or group with a ‘Target / Group Name’, i.e. a ‘mnemonic’ field to
make control and connection much easier. For example, a national network could assign the Group Name field to the
region where the unit is in operation, and give the Target name the name of the town hosting the broadcasting site, or the
city covered by that site. Suppose you have 3 coders in the Tuscany region (the first covers Lucca, the second Florence
and the third Pisa) and 4 others in the Marche (Pesaro, Ancona, Urbino, Macerata). The Target name and Group Name
will be programmed for the individual machines as follows: Group name = Tuscany, Target Name = Lucca for the first
coder, Group name = Tuscany, Target Name = Florence for the second coder, etc.
Connection between remote Barracuda units and the central control Pc may be uni-directional or bi-directional,
depending on the available communication resources and the typology of controlled units.
