With the asset management features in the Arctic Patrol application, it is possible to remotely batch update the Arctic wireless devices. Additionally, RIO600 update actions can also be performed from a remote Arctic wireless device through the ARM600’s WHMI. The asset management functionality is developed on top of the Arctic Patrol application, which is a centralized management system running in ARM600 (server) and Arctic wireless devices (clients).
When one or more devices have been selected in the device list via , these devices can be managed using the actions available via . The available actions depend on the selected device types. Arctic wireless devices report a list of the supported API commands to the Arctic Patrol application. These management commands can be executed remotely from the Arctic Patrol application interface for one or several devices.
In addition to the API commands, a list of more advanced management tools may be available via depending on the type of device that has been selected via . These tools typically use the more simple API commands in the background.
Figure 1 illustrates the API commands and tools available when both an Arctic wireless device and a RIO600 device have been selected in the device list.
