GSelector Server

The GSelector Server is the Service Host Server for the desired GSelector Database. Enter the Name or IP address of the GSelector Service Host server then click Check Integration.

GSelector Database

Zetta supports different GSelector database connection to the same Server. Use the GSelector Database drop-down to select the Database to integrate with Zetta.

Check Integration

The Check Integration button is used to facilitate communication between GSelector and Zetta. When Zetta contacts the GSelector Service Host a “Successfully...” message will be returned and the GSelector Databases will be returned to Zetta for selection. If an Error is received check the Firewall settings on Servers and Routers.

Treat asset deletions from GSelector as: Deactivate or Delete

When an asset is deleted in GSelector it sends a message telling Zetta that it has deleted the asset. The Treat asset deletions from GSelector as: option tells Zetta to Deactivate or Delete the asset when the asset is deleted from GSelector. The default action of Delete will tell Zetta to delete the asset in all stations.

Sync Categories and Control Events

The Sync Categories and Control Events button will send any existing categories and control events, such as macro's and external control events, to GSelector.

Capture communications

Enabling the Capture communications option, will capture the communication data sent and received by Zetta in several files and folders in the ...\ProgramData\RCS\Zetta\!Logging\Debug\xx_<ComputerName>_Zetta.GSelectorServiceLauncher.exe_ProcessID.xlog file of the computer. The first two characters of the file name is the date the file was created. The date is followed by the Windows name for the computer. These files will be retained for one month before they are overwritten. This option is disabled by default.

Caution: Enable this option only with RCS Supervision.

Station Mapping

The Station Mapping section is used to create and activate the connection between a Zetta Station or Virtual Station and a GSelector Station.

For more information on connecting to GSelector, see the Getting Connected to GSelector topic of this guide.
