Nodes in AlarmWorX64 Logger

Each node represents a computer or system on the network that is configured to run one or more of the named logger configurations in the active AlarmWorX64 Logger configuration database. When the logger executable is run, it looks for its network computer name in the list of nodes to determine which logger configuration(s) to run. If a logger cannot find its computer name in the list of nodes, it will run the default configuration.

To Add a New Node to a Configuration:

1. Right-click the Nodes tree and select the Add Node command from the context menu. The New Node form appears.
