FlexNet Manager Suite 2019 R2 (On-Premises Edition)
If you need to update the configuration of a registered inventory beacon, there are two ways.
You must maintain the same unique ID for each inventory beacon that
was generated at installation time. This means that you cannot share configuration
files between beacons. Should you need to refresh settings for an inventory beacon, proceed from the web interface for FlexNet Manager Suite. Using a web browser on the inventory beacon is most convenient (and assumed in this procedure).
To update to configuration of an inventory beacon:
-
Navigate to .
-
On the row for your chosen inventory beacon, click the edit
icon (a pencil).
The Beacon Properties page displays.
-
On the General tab of
the beacon properties, in the Status section, click the
Reconfigure beacon link.
A fly-down appears with some guidance and one important
button.
-
Click Download configuration.
A new configuration file is generated, which you can download to a
convenient location (such as
C:\temp) on the inventory
beacon to be reconfigured.
Important: The configuration file includes
a new password, and can only be used on the one inventory beacon. You cannot reuse a configuration file for
multiple beacons. Furthermore, when a new password has been generated, the
configuration file must be imported into the inventory beacon, because the old password is no longer accepted
by the central application server.
-
Switch to the inventory beacon interface, and on the
Parent connection
tab, click Import configuration.
-
Browse to the file you saved in the
temporary location, and click Open.
-
When the configuration details are changed, the inventory beacon runs a background check on the connection, and displays the results on the page. If there are problems listed, you can address these and (if required) click Test connection to retry. For more
information and troubleshooting, refer back to Registering an Inventory Beacon.
