Question: How can I confirm which version of the Newpoint Console is installed?

Answer: At the Windows command prompt, type the following command to confirm the software version. (This command works with any Satnet Manager or Newpoint Compass version.) fepcon -v

This command opens a pop-up window to display the current version of the Console.

Question: What happens when the Global Database Size as specified in System parameters is reached? Error messages? Crash? Are there any warnings at some point before the limit is reached?

Answer: You will receive the following error message: "Insufficient shared memory resources. Entering system maintenance mode for configuration; after configuring your shared memory database size, stop and restart the fep."

Question: Can I look at the Event Logs with other software products?

Answer: There are many products that can view or report on the Alarm and Event Logs. To open these tables with other products, they must be able to read FoxPro tables and index files. How this is accomplished from product to product differs; some may be able to open them directly, some may need to be configured for external data sources.

In Microsoft Access, for example, you must create, or have created a database to which you want to connect the tables. You then can either Import or Link to the Alarm and Event Log tables. Import means copying the data to a new table, and Link means connecting to the tables. The later is generally the preferred method, as the import needs to be refreshed as needed, where links are always up to date. You will need to specify the file type, Foxpro (.dbf) files.
