The Agents tab displays a list of Clients that are connected to the server. On this tab, you can configure and run automatic updates for each Client.

The list of Client

The list of Clients is a table of all Clients that have connected to the Server at least once. It contains the following information about each Client:

1. Name is the name of the computer on which the Client is installed.
2. Status is the status of the computer. The computer can be available (Ready) or not available (No connection).
3. Product status is the status of the installed software package: running (On) or not (Off).
4. Installed products is the list of versions of the installed software components.

Configuring and running updates

1. From the Update archive drop-down list, select one of the available update packages (1).
   
   

2. In the Timeout (seconds) field, set the update timeout in seconds (2)—the time in which the installation process must be completed. If the installation isn’t completed within this time, it will be forced to stop. The default value is 600 seconds.

3. Set the checkboxes next to the Clients on which you want to install the selected update. To select all Clients, set the Select all checkbox (3).
4. If you want to run Axxon PSIM after an update, set the Run after update checkbox (4).

5. If you want to run the update later at a scheduled time, set the date and time in the corresponding Update at fields (5). By default, the current time is set, that doesn’t need to be changed if you don’t want to postpone the update installation.
   

   You can set only the current time and future time in the Update at fields.

6. Click the Update button (6).

As a result:

• if you set the current or earlier date and time in the Update at field, the installation of the specified update package starts immediately on the selected Clients;
• if you set a later date and time in the Update at field, the specified update package is downloaded and unpacked immediately on the selected Clients, but the installation will run at the set time.

• Remove agent removes the Client from the list. The Client may or may not be connected. The next time the Client connects to the Server, it appears in the list again.
