10.1.3 Activating Monitoring Stations
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. After activating monitoring station, it is recommended
that it would be treated as new if it will be used for monitoring.
10.1.4 Updating Monitoring Station Software
The software versions of the monitoring stations are managed via Carat. In the “Eye software
management” view, you can manage Eye software via the Carat server’s file system. Software
imported into Carat is visible in a list. Only solution admin has access to software
management.
The center portion of the view lists the software versions of an individual monitoring station
when the monitoring station is activated. At the same time, you can also perform operations
that are available in the top part of the pane.
Operations:
• Information displays the software versions in the activated Eye
• Uninstall uninstalls the software version
• Install adds a software version from the Carat server
• Activate activates the software uploaded to the monitoring station
•
To start using a new software version:
1. From the top menu bar, select “Manage | Eye software management”
