GE DEH-211 manual Adding a Workstation

Building the Power-Monitoring Network in NetBuilder

When Network Builder is running, you can begin configuring your EPM system by adding a site to the workstation, then adding devices to the site. For larger systems multiple sites are added; one for each network of devices monitored.

NOTE: The PMCS installation wizard creates initial entries for the workstation and software nodes. If you do not need to make changes to the information provided during installation, skip this section and begin with the section title "Adding an Ethernet Site".

Adding a Workstation

When you use the PMCS installation wizard to install a Primary node or Full Station Secondary node, it creates a Workstation in the Network Configuration for you. Stationless Secondary nodes do not appear in the network configuration as workstations, but as software nodes under the Primary workstation. See the section on software nodes for more information.

To add a new workstation, right click “System” and choose “Insert Workstation” from the pop-up menu. The “System – Add Workstation” dialog box appears as shown below. Type the network name of the computer in the “Name” field. (Use the default settings on the “Advanced” tab.) Click “OK, then proceed to “Adding Software Nodes” below.
