The Device Configuration Reports tool uses AMS Generic Export to get device
parameter data. If you have a large AMS Device Manager system, a large number of
devices, or a large number of device parameters to return, the Generic Export process
can take several hours.
To install the Device Configuration Reports tool:
1. Insert the AMS Device Manager DVD in the DVD drive of your PC.
2. In the SNAP-ONS And Tools\Device Configuration Reports folder, double-click
DEVCONFIGREPORTSINSTALL.EXE.
3. Follow the prompts on the installation window.
4. Open Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options.
5. On the Security tab, click Local Intranet, and uncheck Enable Protected Mode.
6. Click OK.
After installation, start the Device Configuration Reports tool in Windows XP or
Windows 7 by selecting Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Device
Configuration Reports. In Windows 8, enter DEV on the Start screen and click the
Device Configuration Reports tile.
Attaching a Roving Station to a Server Plus Station
A Roving Station is a portable PC (laptop or notebook computer) with AMS Device
Manager Server Plus Station software installed. A Roving Station is configured as such
in the Options for AMS Device Manager dialog (Tools > Options). A Roving Station can
be temporarily connected to a stationary Server Plus Station to enable uploading of
AMS Device Manager information from the Roving Station. For more information
about Roving Stations, refer to AMS Device Manager Books Online.
