Operating Basics
RFM220 Aggregator
The RFM220 Aggregator application collects data from monitored
RFM220 instruments and makes it available to be viewed by connected
RFM220 Client applications. The RFM220 Aggregator can be con
fi gured to
monitor up to 10 RFM220 instruments. (See page 18, Con fi guration .)
Installation
Considerations
The typical RFM220 system installation will have the RFM220 Aggregator
installed on a network server, where it can be accessed by network PCs with
the RFM220 Client application installed. In this case, the network server that
runs the RFM220 Aggregator must have two network ports that are dedicated
for RFM220 system communications:
Control port. This port connects to the “Control” network of
the RFM220 instruments, which is the network to which the
RFM220 instruments are connected.
Corporate port. This port connects to the “Corporate” (public) network
where users can use the RFM220 Client application to access the
RFM220 Aggregator.
With this installation scenario, you need to edit the “ClientCommunication”
section of the Con
fi guration.xml fi le to enter the “Corporate” IP
address of the server running the RFM220 Aggregator, and also edit the
“SNMPCon
fi guration” section of fi le to enter the “Control” IP address of
the server.
If you do not have a local network, the RFM220 Aggregator and Client
applications must be installed on the same PC or server, and the Ethernet port
on the RFM220 instrument must be directly connected to the Ethernet port on
the PC or server hosting the RFM220 applications.
Operating
Considerations
For the RFM220 system to operate properly, you need to observe the following
operating conditions for the RFM220 Aggregator:
CAUTION.
The RFM220 system will not operate as designed unless the
following operating requirements for the RFM220 Aggregator are observed.
For best system performance, install the RFM220 Aggregator and Client
applications on separate computers. The computers must meet the
minimum requirements. (See page 13,
Computer Requirements .)
Although the RFM220 Aggregator can monitor up to 10 instruments and
can have multiple RFM220 Clients connected at the same time, system
performance diminishes as more instruments are monitored and as more
RFM220 Clients connect to the Aggregator and display graphs.
For best system performance, the logging level should be set at Info in
the Con fi guration.xml fi le unless there is a speci fi c signal problem or
RFM220 system problem you are investigating.
