Chapter 3. Node Properties and Tools
The robust Properties and Tools features in addVANTAGE Pro are the building
blocks of the system. Properties let you tinker with node settings such as
whether a node is connected to the server and what to do when a threshold is
reached. The tools options affect system-wide settings such as data acquisition
and e-mail.
The tabs you see on the Properties dialog depend on the node type and, in some
cases, your user role.
Node Properties
When you right-click a node in Explorer and select Properties, you have the
option to view and edit various features related to the node. The dialog that
appears (Figure 11) has three default tabs—General, Action, and Security—but
might have additional tabs, depending on the node type and your user role.
The General tab displays certain information about the node, such as its location
and name. The Action tab enables you to set events and actions specific to the
node itself. The Security tab shows the node’s owner and the permissions
various groups have in relation to the node.
