Tankvision configuration

7.2 Subscription Store definition
In a typical Tankvision system, most configuration settings are common for all Tankvision units
within the network. Therefore, the time required for the configuration of the system can be
minimized by defining one of the units to be a Subscription Store. The configuration settings are
only performed on this Subscription Store. These settings are then distributed to the other units
within the network.
For each Tankvision unit (i.e. Tank Scanner NXA820, Data Concentrator NXA821 or Host Link
NXA822) within the network it is necessary to define if it is a Subscription Store or if it receives its
configuration from a Subscription Store.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Login to the Tankvision unit and navigate to the ’Global Settings’ screen as described in
Section 7.1.
Click on ’Customer Settings’.
2. Click on ’Define Configuration Store Details’. Tankvision displays the screen as follows:
3. for the Subscription Store:
– in "Configuration Store Type" select the option "Subscription Store" (Default)
for the other units
– in "Configuration Store Type" select the option "Use Global Configuration Store"
– In "Subscription Store" select the Subscription Store to which this unit is to be linked
– in "Allow Local Configuration Change" define whether local configuration changes of this
unit are allowed in case the Subscription Store is not available.
4. Click the SUBMIT button to proceed, or click the REFRESH button to reset the screen.
5. After saving the settings, Tankvision displays a confirmation message.
