Configuring the client (receiver)

In each update agent, you must specify the update server. To do this, do the following:

1. Double-click the icon  in the tray.
2. In the Update agent window that opens, click the Change button.
3. As a result, the Server field becomes editable. Enter the IP address and port of the update server separated by a colon in this field.
4. Click Set.

As a result, the window displays information about the connected update server and its status—ONLINE or OFFLINE:

General update procedure on the client

1. The client receives the update task from the update manager.
2. The client requests from the server the installation package with the required version in ZIP format, downloads it, and unzips it.
3. Then the update runs in the quiet mode:
   1. If Axxon PSIM is running at this time, the client stops it.
   2. The client runs the update.
   3. After a successful update, if it was specified during configuration that Axxon PSIM must be restarted, the client restarts it. You can restart the computer if this was specified.
4. After the update, the client deletes the installation package.

Special cases:

1. If an update fails (for example, installation error, update cancellation, or computer shutdown), the update is considered completed, and the client deletes the installation package. A new run in the Update Service is required to update again.
2. If the client receives an installation package with an older version, it tries to install that version, but ultimately the current version remains unchanged.
