9.4 Add a unit's IP address to the Online Server in
RBM Network Administration
Prerequisites
Add an online server in RBM Network Administration.
The unit must have an IP address in the same network as that of the online server.
Procedure
1. In RBM Network Administration, select Online Server > Online Server Setup.
The Online Server Setup window appears.
2. Select a server name from the Online Server menu.
The Online Server box displays the AMS Machinery Manager database assigned to the
selected Online Server. Active Units lists the AMS Machinery Health Monitors
monitored by the selected Online Server.
3. If data is being collected, click Stop Data Collection.
Data collection must be stopped to make changes.
The Edit buttons become active.
4. Click Edit beside the Active Units box.
A New Unit field appears.

9.5 Online database configuration: overview
Configuring a database for an online monitoring application includes understanding how
each sensor is attached to the equipment and the corresponding connection to the AMS
6500 or AMS 2600.
In most cases, a AMS 2600 is not connected directly to sensors. Rather, it is connected
through coax cable with BNC connectors to a panel of monitoring modules. These
modules are connected to field wiring. Therefore, when building a database, it is
important to have a diagram that shows what sensors are connected to which monitoring
modules. In addition, an analyst who builds an online database needs to know if the
monitoring modules perform any signal conditioning on the input signals before passing
them through to their output connectors.
