Box2 base / BoX2 pro (SC) / BoX2 extreme (SC), unknown IP \ reset \ reformat

​25.10.2019
IX 2.40SP4

If you have a BoX2, and do not know the IP of it, how can you then regain contoll of it?

- Port B in all X2 / BoX2 devices are default set to DHCP, so if lucky, you will find it by connecting the port B to a network with a DHCP service (e.g. your office)

- Secondary you need to create a new config file with the configuration software WARP, and then load this project (with known IP settings), from an USB stick. 

- The procedure on using WARP is described inn part 3.1.1 in the BoX2 manual attached, Beijer BoX2 Image Manual, User’s Guide, MAEN205 C

SqlProxy - Connects iX Panels transparently to SQL Server

​There's sometimes a need to connect to SQL Server from an iX Panel.
In CE6 based panel, this has been possible using sqlclient.

Nothing similar is however supported in CE8 (most X2 panels).

During the years, we have helped customers creating solutions based on SQL Server connectivity.
There is a need to be able to move such an application to X2 aswell with minimal change of script code.

One solution is "SqlProxy" that is presented in the attached pdf file.

Install in e.g. C:\Users\Public\SqlProxy to avoid access right issues!

October 16, 2019: The file SqlProxy_191016C.zip contains CURRENT VERSION !
SqlProxy 1.1.0.1. Make sure to use corresponding SqlProxy.exe , tcpServer.dll and scmSqlProxy.Script.cs from the same package!
Supports unicode (e.g. Chinese characters and queries like select * from Customers where Name = N'公司黄页' ). Performance improved.

For best performance, limit the amount of data (number of rows and number of columns) to the minimum necessary with your SQL query. Example: "select top (1) createdTime, columnName3, columnName149 from tableName where columnName1 = 'something' order by createdTime desc"
to get just the few interesting columns from the very latest record where columnName1 = 'something'

Furthermore, for best performance, use StringBuilder when receiving reply from SqlProxy instead of += in the iX demo project. scmSqlProxy.Script_StringBuilder.zip in demo project contains this alternate scmProxy.Script.cs file if needed.
