Overview of all component providers

note

This page has been automatically translated and has not been reviewed in detail yet. Therefore, the translation might not be completely accurate.

As a kind of reference and explanation for the providers available in NeuroomNet, all providers currently available in NeuroomNet are listed in the following subsections with their setting options and explanations. In particular, the following important information is provided:

  • Classification: Classification of the provider into active and passive:
    • Active providers (components): Active providers correspond to active components, i.e. components that contact the NeuroomNet server on their own. After the first such contact, NeuroomNet places the component in the setup module (e.g. based on the MAC address of the component, which can be used to automatically recognize this component in the future, even if the IP address has now changed).
    • Passive providers (components): Passive providers correspond to passive components, i.e. which are usually created manually in the Setup module of the NeuroomNet server including contact information (such as the IP address of the component). The corresponding components usually do not connect independently to the NeuroomNet server.
  • Network / Communication: Describes how the provider's components can be configured in NeuroomNet with regard to accessibility in the network (especially affects passive components, because NeuroomNet needs to know how to reach the respective components).
  • Promotions: List of all provider-specific (NeuroomNet) promotions. The standard actions that each component has ("Enforce Warning Level" and "Reset Warning Level") are not included in this listing.
  • Events: List of all provider-specific (NeuroomNet) events. The standard event that every component has ("State has changed") is not included in this list.
