addVANTAGE Pro 6.4 Administrator Guide CHAPTER 1

Using addVANTAGE Pro Data in Other Programs

Disabling Password Protection for WAP Access

The access over WAP is by default set to require a password (it is the standard

user name and password of the respective user). Due to the fact that it might be

difficult to enter user names and passwords on a cell phone keyboard you may

want to disable it. This can be done by editing the file

webapps\ROOT\WEB-

INF\config\ addServer.properties

. Look for the entry

mobileservice.authrequired, which by default is set to true and change

it to

false (be sure to remove the # hash signs, if any, at the beginning of the

line). Then save the file and restart the server. Now to access your server via

WAP, your users must use a link of this form:

http://yourserver.domain.com:8080/wap

without the need for a username and a password.

Note: Disabling password protection for WAP access makes the data on your server

available to anyone in the world with a cell phone.

Using addVANTAGE Pro Data in Other Programs

The addVANTAGE Pro software has the ability to offer the sensor’s raw data to

other applications via an open protocol called addUPI. In fact, addVANTAGE Pro

itself uses this protocol for retrieving data from either other servers or the

Telemetry Gateway (see “The Data Acquisition Service” on page 50).

Through the addUPI protocol, you can retrieve information about the node

structure of a server, set/get the node’s attributes, invoke functions on the

server (for example, switch on and off outputs on the RTUs), and of course,

retrieve the sensor data. For a complete protocol specification, please contact

Adcon Telemetry.

Another way of importing data from addVANTAGE to other programs is the A2A

utility (addUPI to ASCII). As its name implies, this is a program that retrieves

data from an addUPI server (it can be either an addVANTAGE Server or a

Telemetry Gateway) and stores it in files on the local computer. The file format

can be configured by the user through the numerous options available, thus

making it usable with many programs that use ASCII files for data interchange.

Which solution is better for you? That depends on the importing application.

Generally, if you have control over the software or its publisher, Adcon

recommends using addUPI. Doing so, however, means you will need to

implement or ask the publisher to implement an addUPI client in the respective

program. If you do not have control over the program, A2A is the sole solution

because you only need to configure a proper export format from A2A and feed

the resulting files to the program.

Conventions and Terminology

This section explains standard terminology and usage for Adcon software and

manuals.

Windows and Captions

Although you will not see a software window that looks exactly like the one

shown in Figure 2, we have included it to illustrate the various items on a

software window.

Most operations in addVANTAGE can be performed on a context basis. That is,

right-clicking an object displays a context menu from which you select the

desired operation. You can see an example of a context menu in Figure 13 in

Chapter 2.
