WinPM.Net: Management Console
The Management Console is responsible for building your network. You build 
your power-monitoring network to reflect the way your physical communications 
network is wired so that WinPM.Net software can communicate with your 
devices. The network is created using servers, sites, devices, and modems. These 
network components must be configured in the Management Console before you 
can use the other WinPM.Net applications. 
The following is a brief description of each network component. To learn how to 
configure these components, refer to the “Configuring Communications” section 
of this chapter.
Servers
A server is a computer in an WinPM.Net system running administrative software 
that controls access to the network and its resources, such as ION devices, and 
provides resources to computers functioning as workstations on the network. A 
server runs service components that create communication and software links 
between ACCESS systems components, and it creates links into the ACCESS 
database, too.
Computers with primary and secondary WinPM.Net installations are servers, as 
they have the communication software (services) installed. A primary server 
contains all software components and the database;  a secondary server contains 
software but references the primary server for program files and database 
information. Both server types connect directly to ACCESS devices via serial, 
Ethernet, or modem links, but there can be only one primary server on a network. 
When you install WinPM.Net, the Primary Server must be installed before any 
Secondary server or Client computers.
