the appropriate hardware and software manuals to configure
your network. When you have done so, skip the rest of this
section and go to “Administering your Telemetry Network” on
page 35.
With your existing addVANTAGE 3.x installation, you will need to
export its data. First, however, you need to upgrade your
addVANTAGE Manager software to the latest addVANTAGE 3.x
release provided on the distribution CD-ROM (currently,
addVANTAGE Manager 3.47). Look for the addVANTAGE 3.46
directory to find the setup file for your language.
After you have upgraded addVANTAGE 3.4x, proceed as follows
to export your data and configuration information:
1. Start the addVANTAGE Manager.
2. Select the database that you want to have exported, then
select Tools
Export.
3. Associate the custom sensors (if you have defined any) with an
engineering unit.
4. Select the export path and click the Export only
configuration checkbox to export only the telemetry
network’s configuration. (Adcon recommends that you do the
full export later. See the addVANTAGE 4 Pro user manual for
more information.)
5. Click OK to start the export operation. When it is finished, you
will see a directory named something like adv3.exp. In this
directory is a file named config.xml that your gateway will use
as the configuration file.
6. Start the Configurator, if it is not already started, and log in
(see Step 2 through Step 5 on page 23).
7. If the login was successful, the Configurator software starts
and by default shows you the actual configuration of your
telemetry network: the root device, that is, the gateway itself
(the base station), the RTUs (the devices), and their sensors
(tags). The Configurator’s graphical user interface (GUI)
displays something similar to Figure 11.
Note: If this is the first time you started the gateway, you will not
see any RTUs or sensors displayed, only the root node.
8. Click Restore (or select File
Restore). A dialog box appears,
prompting you to find the directory that has the database
