Modifying a Distributed System
Once your distributed system is installed, any changes to its physical configuration
may require special procedures in AMS Device Manager. To change station types in an
existing system, see
“Changing station types” on page 59. For other types of
changes, see the following:
• Changing station types (page 59).
• Changing a Client SC Station to access a different Server Plus Station (page 60).
• Adding a PC (Client SC Station) to an existing distributed system (page 61).
• Replacing a PC (page 61).
• Renaming a PC (page 63).
• Adding a new communication interface (page 64).
• Adding more tags than currently licensed (page 65).
• Installing on domain controllers (page 65).
Note
Most SNAP-ON applications need to be installed on each station in a distributed system.
Calibration Assistant is enabled through licensing–no separate installation is required.
Note
All SNAP-ON applications, with the exception of AMS ValveLink and AMS Wireless, use the
Windows user account name to determine the user privileges. Therefore, the AMS Device
Manager user must have a user account configured with the same name as the Windows
user account. For all SNAP-ON applications except AMS ValveLink and AMS Wireless, this
user must also have Device Write permission (see
“Logging in to User Manager” on page
112).
AMS ValveLink SNAP-ON application user privileges must be enabled in AMS Device
Manager User Manager.
Note
If a SNAP-ON application is not installed in the C:\Program Files folder, the
AMSDeviceManager Windows user group must be given access to the location.
