Station join best practices

Once you install or upgrade the software, you join each remote controller station to its Supervisor. This adds Schedules, tenants, access rights and personnel data that are stored on a single remote controller.

Before the join:

Delete or rename any access rights that exist on a single controller if they match an access right that is currently in the Supervisor station.
Delete any calendar schedules that exist on a single controller.
Secure communication between the Supervisor and remote station is very important and must include both data encryption and server authentication. Since each station (Supervisor and remote controller) can serve as both a client and a server, each station requires a root CA certificate in its Trust Store and a unique, signed server certificate in its Key Store. Confirm that this is the case before you complete the join.
NOTE: If you do not set up your certificates in advance, the join requires you to approve the self-signed certificate. This process requires the Web Launcher.
