i-Vu PRO techlit

[gerizam60]

Hello to all.

Does Anyone have the link to get techlit for i-Vu PRO?

I looked everywhere on hvacpartners.

What are you looking for? There isnt any available documentation for PRO that I have seen. The only thing I have is the help file that is part of the program. Similiar to the one in Standard/Plus accessed at the question mark icon.

Balibe,


I want to know what version of SQL I need to install PRO. I was told that I can install a free version from MS, but I'm unfamilar as to which one to choose.

Thanx

I didn't orginally install the server part on the machine & create the database. I came in after that & built up the database/system. The database software & server was provided by IT based on the requirements we gave them.

You have a choice of six different type of databases to use [Access, MSDE, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL & SQLServer]. I believe we are using Access. Can't verify 100%, but in the replicate/migrate database area of SiteBuilder I loose an option that applies to Access. We also have SQLServer on the machine. Below are the versions of both.

Access: 4.00.6305.00
SQLServer: 2000.86.3959.00

You can find this information from Administrative Tools\Data Sources (ODBC).

Hope this helps .....

Balibe, another question for you; did your i-Vu Pro site also have a integrator like i-Vu plus?

[Balibe]

Dont think the actual i-Vu Integrator has been released yet.

i-Vu Pro does need an i-Vu Link or i-Vu Router like Plus uses. Either one works, just depends on what you are bringing in. Pro has BacNetIP built-in.

i-Vu Router does 140 Devices [CCN only]
i-Vu Link does 140 Devices [CCN, MS/TP & Lon w/ optional card]

So like plus, you must use a link or a router as a gateway.

When you set up a PC as your i-Vu Pro server, The server cannot be used as a Gateway VIA an onboard 10/100 and then thru a CCN ethernet convertor or any 232/485 adaptor?

I was hoping to eliminate the use of a external gateway, by rigging junk.

I'm simply trying to setup a similator so techs and myself can practice with a live model.

Have never tried this. I dont think a 232/485 adapter would work. An ethernet converter sounds logical as it will convert the protocol.

I believe a Link or Router does more than just convert protocol. A Router/Link will not function until the Server or Plus downloads to it. This suggests it has on-board memory & stores information.

If you try it, let me know how it goes .....

[gerizam60]

Yes, I'll let you know.

I have a spare CCN WEB that I'll try to use as a gateway. But I have my doubts that I'll succeed.
