Depending on the type of host you use, you
can modify various properties:
On the viewLinc ES server, you can edit
all properties.
On an access point host, you can modify
the description and enable or disable installation mode when pairing new RFL data
loggers.
On a device host server, you can modify
the description, and enable or disable automatic recognition of vNet devices (viewLinc
Aware).
In Sites Manager select the Hosts and Devices tab.
On the Hosts and Devices tree, select a host.
Select Configure > Edit Properties.
In the Edit Host
Properties window, edit available properties for viewLinc Enterprise Server host (go to step 5 for
Access Point host properties).
Alternate viewLinc server
name
If the viewLinc ES is behind a firewall, add a server name to ensure
that device hosts are recognized, even if the IP address of the viewLinc ES
changes.
viewLinc Enterprise Server
port
This is the port that device hosts use when connecting to the
viewLinc ES (refer to your IT port policy to determine if it needs to change).
viewLinc Aware
Disable this function if you have another viewLinc ES or device host
running on the same subnet (to ensure vNets connect to the correct viewLinc ES or
device host).
viewLinc system ID
(64-bits)
The auto-generated system ID is used by devices to recognize the
viewLinc ES. If you need to change this number, contact Vaisala Technical Support
for assistance.
In the Edit Host
Properties window, edit available properties for an Access Point host.
Description
Add a description (up to 64 alpha-numeric characters) to help identify
this host. On the Hosts and Devices tree the host name appears in addition to the description. For example,
My Host (AP10-X###).
Installation
mode
Enable this function to pair new RFL data loggers with the access
point.
RFL data loggers can only be
paired with an access point that has installation mode enabled. Once paired,
installation mode can be disabled. You can enable or disable installation mode in
viewLinc or in the access point web UI. For more information refer to the AP10 User Guide.
VaiNet channel (1-8)
If your viewLinc system supports several access points on the same
wireless frequency, each access point requires a unique channel number to ensure
uninterrupted wireless communication.
