Management Tools
The V481 series of ready-to-run embedded computers are network-centric platforms designed to
serve as front-end computers for data acquisition and industrial control. Due to the distributed
characteristics of the devices that these computers control, they are often located near the devices
in harsh environments, and are usually far away from system administrators. Managing the
computers requires being able to modify the network/server configuration, take care of file
management, and handle process (thread) monitoring/control.
A management system is provided with the V481 computer to assist administrators with these
tasks.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
