Configuring the System
There are several tasks you must complete in Compass before you
begin to add and configure any devices to the system. Unless
otherwise indicated, all of these tasks are performed from the
Runtime-Config / System Configuration menu on the Newpoint
Compass Administrator.
Remember that the currently selected node must be in Run or Idle
state to access this menu.
The tasks listed below are all discussed in detail in the Newpoint
Compass User Guide.
1. Configure Compass System Parameters (security key port,
global database size, startup commands, etc.)
2. Enable the Time Synchronization Client if your system includes
many Compass nodes that send data to a central event / alarm
repository for reports and plots.
3. Configure system security measures. Compass offers several
methods to protect your data and your system from unauthorized
access.
4. Configure the Alarm and Event Log to collect important system
data.
5. Add Administrative and Runtime Nodes to Compass.
