Remapping a Device, Measurement, and / or Alarm Mapping

Remap a device, measurement, and / or alarm mapping to update the device, measurement, and / or alarm mapping information. You can remap one device, measurement, or alarm at a time using the EWS Client user interface.

To remap a device using the EWS Client user interface:

  1. In EWS Client table, select the row of the EWS client for which you want to remap, and then click Edit in this row. This opens the Re-configure EWS Client dialog.
  2. In Re-configure EWS Client, select the Device and Measurement Mapping tab.
  3. In Device and Measurement Mapping, to remap the device,
    1. In the mapping table, select the row of the device for which you want to remap, and then click Edit in this row. This opens the Remap Device dialog.
    2. In Remap Device, remap to existing device or create new device.
      • To remap to existing device, update the required information such as group name and time zone from the drop down list.
      • To remap to new device, enter the required information such as group name. Select the time zone from the drop down list.

        NOTE: The new group name must match the PME naming convention. The following limitations apply:

        • Names cannot contain spaces or the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > { } . , ' & @ | % #

        • Do not use names such as CON, AUX, COM1, and LPT1 when naming devices.

        NOTE: The time zone changes of the device does not reflect automatically in Management Console or Device Manager. You need to manually update the device time zone in Management Console or Device Manager.

    3. Click OK.
  4. Click OK.

To remap a measurement using the EWS Client user interface:

  1. In EWS Client table, select the row of the EWS client for which you want to remap, and then click Edit in this row. This opens the Re-configure EWS Client dialog.
  2. In Re-configure EWS Client, select the Device and Measurement Mapping tab.
  3. In Device and Measurement Mapping, to remap the measurement,
    1. In the mapping table, select the row of the measurement for which you want to remap, and then click Edit in this row. This opens the Map Measurement dialog.

      NOTE: All the similar measurements are mapped during remapping of the individual measurement. For example, if "Voltage" is associated with "Device1" and "Device2". When remapping is performed for "Voltage" associated with "Device1", the same remapping applies to "Voltage" associated with "Device2".

    2. In Map Measurement, remap to existing measurement or create new measurement.
      • To remap to existing measurement, under Existing Measurements, click the measurement name to select it.
      • To create and map to new measurement, under New Measurement, enter the name of the measurement. Click Create. Optionally, update if the measurement is cumulative, edit unit, and time rollup options.
    3. Under Associated Devices, enter the measurement scale for the listed associated devices.
    4. Click OK.
  4. Click OK.

To remap an alarm using the EWS Client user interface:

NOTE: You can use alarm mapping if you want a different alarm name for PME other than the alarm name from EWS sever.

  1. In EWS Client table, select the row of the EWS client for which you want to remap, and then click Edit in this row. This opens the Re-configure EWS Client dialog.
  2. In Re-configure EWS Client, select the Device and Measurement Mapping tab.
  3. In Device and Measurement Mapping, to remap an alarm,
    1. In the mapping table, select the row of an alarm for which you want to remap, and then click Edit in this row. This opens the Map Measurement dialog.
    2. In Map Measurement, under Existing Measurements, select Alarms to see the list of PME alarm names.
