CANBERRA Application Note Setting up a Quick Local Area Network for CRemote General Nuclear Industry Application Introduction to the fundamentals of CRemote and a standalone LAN for CANBERRA Contamination Monitors All of CANBERRA s personnel contamination monitors come with a standard Ethernet port and are setup to do networking out of the box This networking can provide easy access to the monitors via a central PC which enables Radiation Protection RP personnel to get the operational status of equipment track and clear potential instrument faults view the interior of the monitor via integrated video camera communicate with personnel in the monitor via speaker and headset obtain photographic data of personnel identity when a contamination event occurs and get instant pictorial displays of the contamination s magnitude and location This Application Note the first in a series of contamination monitor specific network communication applications will focus on the setup of a basic standalone network to enable communication between a dedicated PC and a series of contamination monitors to report instrument status view fault conditions and transmit radiation monitoring data from the contamination monitors to a PC located nearby the RCA exit A few of the future Contamination Monitor Application Notes will cover the following topics e Setting up video monitoring and audio connections and communications between co
