Confidentiality Notice
This manual is provided solely as an operational, installation, and maintenance guide and contains sensitive business and technical information that is confidential and proprietary to GAI-Tronics. GAI-Tronics retains all intellectual property, other rights in or to the information contained herein, and such information may only be used in connection with the operation of your GAI-Tronics product or system. This manual may not be disclosed in any form, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to any third party.
SmartView Software Overview
The GAI-Tronics ADVANCE System SmartView Software suite consists of two different software applications.
ADVANCE Server
The ADVANCE Server program runs on a PC connected to the ADVANCE Ethernet network. The system configuration database file (.hot file) created by the ADVANCE Console program, is loaded into the server. The server then collects status information from each of the ADVANCE cabinets on the network. Status information includes faults, pages, alarms, input activations and output activations. The server sends all information to one or more SmartView Portals. Refer to the “ADVANCE Server Software” section of this manual on page 9 for detailed information.
NOTE: There can only be one instance of the ADVANCE Server running in a system.
SmartView Portal
The SmartView Portal program is used by the system operators to monitor system activity and receive real-time fault reporting of ADVANCE system components. The program features a graphical representation of the system along with selection buttons for navigating through various screens to view system status. Multiple PCs can run SmartView Portal, providing more than one monitoring location.
Refer to the “SmartView Portal Software” section of this manual on page 18 for detailed operation.

ADVANCE Server Software
Host Computer IP Address
The ADVANCE Server requires at least one network port. In some installations where SmartView Portal computers are connected to an existing network (used for other applications) two ports should be used.
One network port is dedicated to the ADVANCE cabinet system network. This IP address for the port connecting to the ADVANCE cabinets must always be set at 192.168.1.80. If there is no network port at this address, an error message will appear when the ADVANCE Server starts up. When you click the OK button, the server will shut down.
Figure 10. IP Address Warning
If using two network ports, the second port is dedicated to the SmartView Portals. This port can have any IP address suitable for use on the customer’s existing network.
In either case, the IP address of the server port must be loaded into a file on the portal computer for the SmartView Portal application to access the server and function properly. Refer to the “SmartView Portal” section of the manual for more information on storing the server IP address.

Running the ADVANCE Server
To start the ADVANCE Server, click the Start Menu. Go to Programs Æ GAI-Tronics Corporation and click on the ADVANCE Server.
Optionally, if a desktop shortcut icon was created during the installation process, simply double click the
icon. 
NOTE to Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users: The server program must be run as an administrator. To set this property, right-click on the shortcut, and click the Advanced button on the Shortcut page to get to the Advanced Properties dialog box. Select “Run as administrator” as shown below.
The first time the ADVANCE Server is run, the Registration screen will appear. Enter the activation code and click the REGISTER button. Refer to “Obtaining an Activation Code” section on page 6.
The Server will start up and display a blue GAI-Tronics symbol 
in the system tray at the lower right corner of the screen as shown below:

Right click on the GAI-Tronics symbol 
to display the Server Menu:
Figure 12. Server Menu
Load Hot File - This selection loads the system configuration .hot file that was created by the ADVANCE Console. The .hot file contains all the settings for the ADVANCE system located on the site. This allows the server to communicate to the ADVANCE systems and provide all the information for the SmartView Portal.
Server - Opens the ADVANCE Server.
Exit - Shuts down the ADVANCE Server.
Connecting to the ADVANCE system
To connect the server to the ADVANCE systems, a .hot file must be loaded. The .hot file is created during the system configuration process using the ADVANCE Console software. The .hot file contains all of the system parameters. This allows the server to communicate to the ADVANCE systems and gather data about those systems. When the .hot file is loaded, the server will attempt to communicate to each ADVANCE system and gather the status of all equipment in the .hot file configuration. This is done automatically by the server.
If the server is shut down and then restarted, the server will use the last .hot file that was loaded and restart communication to the systems. All communication is done through the ADVANCE network port. If the port is lost, all communication will be lost. When all systems are connected to the server, the system information can be viewed using the server menus (described below) or graphically on the SmartView Portal.
