HowTo: Configure SCInterface for Sensors

From SCInterface Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The following defines that steps that must take place for sensors after installing SCInterface using the SCInterface Quick Start Guide. This includes choosing the correct UI language file and the correct SC and Sensor SConnector Types.

Before continuing, you must have the UI, SCM and at least one SC running in order to tune SCInterface specifically for running sensors. Complete instructions can be found within the SCInterface Quick Start Guide.

Set the Sensors Language File

The sensors language file must be loaded by default in order to have the SCInterface UI show sensor specific languages. To do this:

  1. Main Web Interface - With a text editor (such as vi), open the PHP UI's variables.php file located under scinterface/www/include/. Modify the following line and make sure it is set to sensors (with an 's'):
    $LANG = "sensors";
  2. PocketSCI (Mobile Web) Interface - With a text editor (such as vi), open the PHP UI's variables.php file located under scinterface/pda/www/include/. Modify the following line and make sure it is set to sensors (with an 's'):
    $LANG = "sensors";


Adding an SC

If you have added an SC already (perhaps a Linux SC) to your SCM, change the SC to an SC labeled Sensor Linux SC or Sensor Windows SC based on the appropriate platform type. To do this:

  1. Login to the web UI.
  2. Select Admin -> SControllers tab.
  3. Click on the Edit button next to the appropriate SC.
  4. Change the SConnector to a sensor SC.
