JNIOR Support Tool⚓︎

The JNIOR Support Tool is a Windows-based PC application that allows the user to enter the JNIOR IP address via our Beacon technology, configure a variety of JNIOR features via our Registry editor, easily load additional software and updates to one or many JNIORs, review logs, and back-up or duplicate your JNIOR configuration.

Main Functions⚓︎

The JNIOR Support Tool has seven main functions (Tabs) as described below.

  1. Beacon Tab – identifies JNIORs on the Ethernet network for easy selection and configuration.
  2. Devices Tab – allows the user to define IP addresses and/or serial settings for ‘devices’ to be controlled via the JNIOR macros utilized with the Cinema.JNIOR and Macro.JNIOR applications.
  3. Macro Tab – allows the user to configure Macros containing a timed sequence of Actions to control JNIOR relay outputs, ‘devices’, and the JNIOR Control Panel. The Macros are utilized in the Cinema.JNIOR and Macro.JNIOR applications.
  4. Update Tab – allows the user to execute an update package to transfer new software, software updates, configuration files, and registry settings to one or many JNIORs.
  5. Registry Editor Tab – allows the user to view and edit the Registry Keys for one or many JNIORs.
  6. Logs Tab – allows the user to aggregate, view, filter, and print the various logs being created by a JNIOR.
  7. Snapshot Tab – allows the user to download to their PC any or all of the files located on a JNIOR. A filter feature is provided to download files selectively. The user can also create a Backup which creates an ‘update project’ that will duplicate a JNIOR configuration on a new JNIOR.

One or Many JNIORs⚓︎

The Beacon tab will display multiple JNIORs (both Series 3 and 4) with mixed IP addresses. By ‘right-clicking’ on a JNIOR in the list, you can set the JNIOR IP configuration, hostname, reboot, open a Telnet or FTP connection, launch the JNIOR web page and a variety of other functions.

The Beacon technology is utilized throughout the JNIOR Support Tool.

For Cinema Users⚓︎

The JNIOR Support Tool also has special features to help users of the Cinema software application to configure Devices and Macros. The Cinema application is a software program that runs on the JNIOR to provide central control functionality for a theater implementing a digital cinema system. Please refer to the Cinema Knowledge Base for details on its functionality.
