Ascom Telligence

See the Data Servers page for information on configuring driver communication.

The hardware sync functionality is used to sync the assets in your project with the Ascom system. This will import missing assets, update existing assets with information which does not match in Ascom, and delete assets which do not exist in the Ascom system.

Before using the hardware sync, you must first configure the Communication Settings in your project.

The hardware sync will match assets existing in your project to ones on the server to determine required changes. Staff Consoles will be matched based on either Duty Area or Address. The Station assets are matched based on Bed ID and Station ID.

To sync the assets in your project with the Ascom server:

1. In Project Explorer, right-click the Ascom Telligence system and select Hardware Sync.
2. For each asset type, check the actions you wish to complete:
   • Add missing assets.
   • Update assets which have outdated settings.
   • Remove assets which do not match with any hardware.
3. Before syncing the hardware, you may Export a summary of all changes which will be made to the Ascom assets. The settings which are exported are:
   • Asset — The asset type.
   • Id — The ID of the asset within Designer.
   • Action — The action being completed for the asset (add, update, or remove).
   • CurrentCaption — The asset caption prior to the hardware sync being completed.
   • CurrentDutyArea — The duty area of a staff console prior to the hardware sync being completed.
   • CurrentAddress — The address of a staff console prior to the hardware sync being completed,
   • CurrentPort — The port of a staff console prior to the hardware sync being completed.
   • CurrentStationId — The ID of a station prior to the hardware sync being completed.
   • CurrentBedId — The assigned bed ID for a station prior to the hardware sync being completed.
   • UpdatedCaption — The asset caption after the hardware sync is completed.
   • UpdatedDutyArea — The duty area of a staff console after the hardware sync is completed.
   • UpdatedAddress — The address of a staff console after the hardware sync is completed.
   • UpdatedPort — The port of a staff console after the hardware sync is completed.
   • UpdatedStationId — The ID of a station after the hardware sync is completed.
   • UpdatedBedId — The assigned bed ID for a station asset after the hardware sync is completed.
