Configuration

Connections

HTTP Connection - Primary

This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 8193).
  • Device address: The bus address of the device. If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.

HTTP Connection - Secondary

This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 8193).
  • Device address: The bus address of the device. If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.

Smart-Serial Connection - Server

This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SMART-SERIAL CONNECTION:

  • Interface connection:

    • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination. Must be set to any.
    • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 8194).

Redundancy

Most Riedel ARTIST systems consist of both a primary and a secondary server. At any point in time, only one of these servers will act as the "online" server. While a connection can always be made to both servers, the Riedel ARTIST's information should be retrieved from the "online" server to guarantee the most updated information.

For this purpose, while configuring the DataMiner element, make sure to provide the info of the primary and secondary server for the HTTP connections, respectively. The connector will automatically and continuously detect which server is acting as the "online" server so that all communication can be pointed towards the "online" server at all times.

In case your Riedel ARTIST system does not consist of a failover pair, provide the information of your server for both the primary and the secondary HTTP connection.

How to use

Notifications

A Riedel ARTIST system also comes with the feature of actively sending smart-serial informational messages to provide updates on changes in the Riedel system.

The type of notifications for which you wish to receive these informational messages can be configured under the Notification - Registration page.

Additionally, you can configure how to clean up these received notifications by choosing to keep notifications based either on a maximum number or on maximum age.
