Recover Station view

This view sets up and initiates the station recovery process. Recovery uses station data from the Supervisor to restore a remote station when a remote station backup is not possible or would result in lost or data conflicts.

To access this view from the main menu, click You access this view by selecting a station in the Station Manager - Database view and then click the Recover button (Image).

The top left corner of the view displays the name of the station that is to be added or joined to the enterprise. Below the title are three control buttons, step instructions, a link to the Distributed Schedule Manager, and a table of records.

Links

  • Commit Recovery button starts the recovery process.
  • NiagaraNetwork button links to the Station Manager - Database view.
  • Synchronize Time button initiates a time synchronization job that sets the time of the remote station to within one minute of the Supervisor station’s time. This ensures that records added to the Supervisor database during the join process share a common time reference.
     
    NOTE: The Recover Station view does not import schedule records. You must import any schedules using the Distributed Schedule - Database view.
