5. System Management
Managing System Controllers
At the bottom of the page are several buttons grouped by function. Each button performs a specific
configuration, management or maintenance task. The button lists either the current computer sys-
tem running NV9000-SE or ‘Controller 1’ or ‘Controller 2’. Controller 1 refers to the primary sys-
tem controller. If a second, redundant system controller is running, that is referred to as
Controller 2.
When a button option is not available, the button is dimmed (greyed-out). System management but-
tons are as follows:
•
Dynamic Update
— Can be used to 1) write to and update the database and, 2) send changes to
the system controller dynamically. (This can only be used for configuration changes, not
changes to physical connections on devices. For updating the database after making physical
connection changes click
Write Configuration ).
•
Read Configuration
— Reads the configuration currently on the system controller and enters it
into the NV9000-SE database.
•
Write Configuration
— Writes saved configuration changes to the system controller.
•
Restart
— Stops the system controller and then starts it again.
•
Start
— Starts the system controller if it has been stopped.
•
Stop
— Stops the control system software on the system controller, but leaves the system con-
troller running.
•
Reboot
— Stops the control system software and system controller and then restarts the system
controller.
• Shutdown — Stops the control system software and system controller.
Adding System Controllers
System controllers can be added at any time using the ‘Add Control System’ dialog box accessed
from the ‘System’ menu on the menu bar. (See
Menu Bar on page 9.) The computer running
NV9000-SE must be on the same subnet and have the same IP settings as the system controller in
order to have the system controller added. (See
About System Controllers on page 33.)
