Chapter 2. Getting Started

Since the initial introduction of addVANTAGE Pro 5 in 2006, you have been able

to access the client software through a standard Internet browser such as

Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. While you still have the option to

install addVANTAGE Pro on your own machine, you can also work through an

internet connection linking up to your data provider’s addVANTAGE Pro 6.4

server, accessing all the features through your web browser on that machine. All

you will need is a reasonably fast internet connection and a user name and

password to access your data.

Overview

For large installations, Adcon recommends that you install the server on a

separate computer. The server must have enough power and memory to sustain

the expected number of clients and RTUs, as well as the number of extensions

that will process the data. For more information on the server requirements, see

“Minimum Requirements” on page 9.

You can consider several types of systems depending on your application and

the corresponding license type you acquired. For example, if you have an

application where you manage only one or two remote stations (RTUs), you

could install the server on the same machine you are using for your day-to-day

use. After installing addVANTAGE Pro you need only point your browser to your

local computer (e.g., http://localhost:8080) and you can analyze your data. You

don’t even need access to the Internet for this type of setup.

At the other end of options, if you intend to offer addVANTAGE Pro services to

other users, running tens or hundreds of RTUs, you most likely will want to

install the software on a powerful server with a good connection to the Internet.

A fixed IP address is mandatory in this case.

In many cases you might not want to run a server at all and would rather use

the addVANTAGE Pro services offered by an addVANTAGE Pro service provider as

described in the previous paragraph. You need only a web browser, an Internet

connection, and an account (possibly subscription-based) with your

addVANTAGE provider.

If you plan to install an addVANTAGE Pro server (however small or large), please

continue reading. If you are not installing the addVANTAGE Pro 6.4 software,

you can go directly to “Navigating the Data” on page 21.

The following sections guide you through the installation and initial configuration

of your addVANTAGE Pro server.

The Short Path from RTUs to addVANTAGE Pro

For those of you eager to start seeing and using the RTU data in your

addVANTAGE Pro software, below is a summary of the steps you have to follow:

1. Install addVANTAGE Pro (more details are in “Installing the Software” on

page 15).

2. Start the addMIN utility to enter the server license information (more

details are in “Entering the Licensing Information” on page 17). Then start

addVANTAGE Pro server (see “Starting the Server” on page 19).

3. Connect to the addVANTAGE Pro server by opening your browser and

pointing it to the IP address of your server (see “Connecting to

addVANTAGE Pro” on page 20).

4. If you have not configured your Telemetry Gateway, read the respective

manual to learn how to configure your base station. If you have already

configured your Telemetry Gateway, you can skip this step.
