Activation of monitoring station
By default, the monitoring station is in active state. This is flagged with the green
background color in the Network topology. An inactive monitoring station would have
orange background color.
It is possible to deactivate the monitoring station. This feature is mainly targeted for
temporary installations. An inactive monitoring station exists in the system and its
measurements are accessible as usual. Only an active monitoring station may produce
measurements and run manual tests. The state management enables consistent user view
on Network topology and measurements.
The use case is to have temporary measurements in numerous locations and to have the
possibility to return to one location and continue with identical monitoring station setup to
keep the measurements comparable. Naturally an activated monitoring station must have a
scan to become operational again.
