FMS Page

Note: The FMS page only appears in a device editor if an FMS service is defined in your UIS configuration file and your UIS is running. Ensure that polling facilities exist in the Facility Service (FAC), they are associated with the applicable remote device, and the applicable FMS data groups are instantiated for the remote device.

The FMS page of the remote device editor enables you to view and interact with FMS-oriented facilities when they are associated with one or more FMS data groups.

Each FMS-oriented facility is parent to a collection of FMS data groups; click facilities to expand the tree, and double-click child data groups to open property sheets. All child FMS data groups must share the same ordinal; if ordinal numbers vary, the entire collection fails and an error appears in the facility tree. If a given facility has been mapped to FMS, clicking the facility in the tree displays relevant device information in the Device Info from FMS field at the bottom of the FMS page.

FMS Data Groups

This field displays a tree view of FMS-oriented facilities and their child FMS data groups. Click facilities to expand the tree, and double-click child data groups to open property sheets.

All child FMS data groups must share the same ordinal; if ordinal numbers vary, the entire collection fails and an error appears in the facility tree.

If a given facility has been mapped to FMS, clicking the facility in the tree displays relevant device information in the Device Info from FMS field at the bottom of the FMS page.

See EFM Data Groups.

Device Info from FMS

If a given facility has been mapped to FMS, clicking the facility in the tree displays relevant device information in this field.

See Viewing and Editing CygNet Measurement Node Properties.

New FMS Node

Click to add a new FMS Node to a selected facility. Select the device Node type to add, then click OK. Applicable property sheets appear.

See the following topics for more information:

Delete FMS Node

Click to delete a Node from a facility.

Important: In FMS, there is a difference between deleting a Node and purging a Node. Deleting a Node removes a Node from your current system, but retains all history. Purging a Node removes it entirely from your FMS system forever.
