The Arctic device’s local network is scanned for new devices about
twice per hour at the most. If a non-continuous Patrol connection is
configured, the scanning is limited to the chosen connection interval.
Only networks with a netmask of 255.255.255.* are scanned to avoid
excessive scanning time.

Asset management
With the asset management features in the Arctic Patrol application, it is possible to
remotely batch update the Arctic wireless devices. Additionally, RIO600 update
actions can also be performed from a remote Arctic wireless device through the
ARM600’s WHMI. The asset management functionality is developed on top of the
Arctic Patrol application, which is a centralized management system running in
ARM600 (server) and Arctic wireless devices (clients).
When one or more devices have been selected in the device list via
Arctic Patrol/
Devices
, these devices can be managed using the actions available via
Arctic Patrol/
Management
. The available actions depend on the selected device types. Arctic
wireless devices report a list of the supported API commands to the Arctic Patrol
application. These management commands can be executed remotely from the Arctic
Patrol application interface for one or several devices.
In addition to the API commands, a list of more advanced management tools may be
available via
Arctic Patrol/Management
depending on the type of device that has
been selected via
Arctic Patrol/Devices
. These tools typically use the more simple
API commands in the background.
Figure 19
illustrates the API commands and tools available when both an Arctic
wireless device and a RIO600 device have been selected in the device list.
