SITE MANAGEMENT

Local Site Support

ARENA supports the connection to up to 4 local sites.

Remote Site Support

ARENA supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10 or through

 

another remote ARENA. That ARENA is called Supervisor ARENA.

 

Ranger supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10 only.

iLON 10 Sites via LAN

ARENA supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10. Only one

 

ARENA can be connected at the same time to one iLON 10.

 

If a connection between an ARENA and an iLON is established, a second ARENA

 

cannot connect to the iLON 10. This is indicated by a message.
