ION Enterprise: ION Management Console

 

 

ION Enterprise: ION Management Console

The ION Management Console is responsible for building your network. You build your power-monitoring network to reflect the way your physical communications network is wired so that ION Enterprise software can communicate with your devices. The network is created using servers, sites, devices, and modems. These network components must be configured in the ION Management Console before you can use the other ION Enterprise applications.

The following is a brief description of each network component. To learn how to configure these components, refer to the “Configuring Communications” on page 91.

Servers

A server is a computer in an ION Enterprise system running administrative software that controls access to the network and its resources, such as ION devices, and provides resources to computers functioning as workstations on the network. A server runs service components that create communication and software links between ION systems components, and it creates links into the ION database, too.

Computers with primary and secondary ION Enterprise installations are servers, as they have the communication software (services) installed. A primary server contains all software components and the database; a secondary server contains software but references the primary server for program files and database information. Both server types connect directly to ION devices via serial, Ethernet, or modem links, but there can be only one primary server on a network. When you install ION Enterprise, the Primary Server must be installed before any Secondary server or Client computers.
