Creating Stations in System Manager
In Desigo CC, the various stations that make up a deployment are represented as objects within System Manager. Specifically:
Station type | Represented by System Manager object... | Notes | How to create |
---|---|---|---|
Desigo CC server station | Project > Management System > Servers > Main Server | There is only one Main Server object in a project. | Object automatically provided in System Manager |
Desigo CC anonymous Flex clients | Project > Management System > Clients > Default Web Client | There is only one Default Web Client object. Its settings will apply to all anonymous web-based stations. | |
Desigo CC FEP stations | Project > Management System > FEPs > [fep] |
| You must manually create an object to represent each [fep], [installed client], and [identified flex client] station included in the deployment. |
Desigo CC installed client stations | Project > Management System > Clients > [installed client] |
| |
Desigo CC identified Flex clients | Project > Management System > Clients > [identified flex client] |
| |
Desigo CC web server station | Project > Management System > Clients > [web server] | This is an installed client station that is operating as a remote IIS web server (for example to host web applications such as Flex Client or Advanced Reports). You can have only one [web server] station in a project. | The [web server] station object, if required, must be manually created. |
Through these objects, you can apply configurations to the stations, such as client profiles, control station, or closed mode. You can also enable or disable logon from a particular station.
