Keeping 'offline' win boxes updated

How does one keep the PCs used by the staff for monitor updated especially when its more than one and not managed by the customers i...

Re: PSA; ALC optiflex under AAR; very long download times.
You mean the VPN tunnel is creating the problem? I'm putting together an article with my thoughts on this but I don't see how that's the case. If your getting slow results in your testing directly connected, can't be the VPN, IP network, etc. Can only assume its some oddity either in the way its pa...

Re: PSA; ALC optiflex under AAR; very long download times.
First off on this thread all those test times are with a laptop straight to the module, no VPN. IMO you know its an issue then with that setup. Another thing to think about, just because there is an Ethernet port doesn't mean the host processor can handle anything close to what the limits are on th...

Trend Controls SET - Project Update
This is a nice improvement for mass updating your SET database with many controllers. Hopefully you have something to start with just need any unique settings updated, but it also works if you have nothing.

Another way to export histories as csv files. This works great for a handful of points that someone wants emailed at a set interval.

Willing to bet they have some sort of issue lying in there somewhere.

Keep in mind the VPN performance on the ERX isn't anything to write home about. Be...

Using Trend Lon controllers in Niagara
