• (*) - Default port for connection to DeMeter web interface.
• (**) - Internal port.
• (***) - Port number can be changed via a configuration file once DeMeter installation is complete. Please see 3.1- DeMeter installation and configuration .

• (*) - Port number can be changed via configuration file once DeMeter Collector installation is complete. Please see 3.2- DeMeter Collector installation and configuration (optional) .
• (**) - Port is only required when operating with DeMeter Collector. As a result, it is considered mandatory whenever DeMeter Collector is installed, but not when operations only require DeMeter.

If you wish DeMeter to transfer alerts and operator calls to a mobile phone via the DeMeter Assistant application, DeMeter will need  access to the Internet.

The reason for that it that the notification transfer to a mobile phone is handled via a generic solution called Firebase. Its key purpose is to push notifications to a registered phone if the DeMeter Assistant application is closed.

If you do not wish alerts to be transferred to mobile devices, though, this internet access is not required, and DeMeter can operate without it.

The following Web browsers are supported:

• Chrome: starting from V45.
• Firefox: starting from V38. 
• Edge: starting from V12. 
• Opera: Starting from V30.

The following softwares need to be installed on the server running the DeMeter software:

• 32 bits C++ Redistributable 2015 Runtime, or above.
• 64 bits C++ Redistributable 2015 Runtime, or above.
• .Net framework version 5 or above: this particular version should be installed by the DeMeter installation package.

Pre-requisite : a DRIM must be connected to the target DeMeter server.

1. Copy the DeMeter installer to your server.
2. Open the installer by double clicking on DeMeter_X.X.X.X_setup.exe.
   
3. Click Install then wait for the installation to end.
   
   

Notes:

• All components listed in the snapshot above must be installed for a first time installation.
• The installer will raise an alarm if it failed to detect a DRIM: see snapshot below.

System state at the end of the installation:

The following services must be started:

• Desoutter DeMeter.
• Desoutter DeMeter BI.
• Desoutter DeMeter DB.
• Desoutter FMService#.

This section describes DeMeter port configuration procedure. This procedure is optional: DeMeter can operate with its default port settings.

When to use this procedure:

• When several services use the same default port configuration.
• If you wish to change the default port settings to match your IT department good practices.

To install the software:

1. Copy / paste appsettings.json file from C:\Program Files\Desoutter\DeMeter to C:\ProgramData\Desoutter\DeMeter\API.
2. Edit port settings fields and fill in with your target parameter. Please refer to 2.2.1- DeMeter network requirements and port settings for a list of all ports open to modification.
3. Restart the DeMeter service.

Reminder: while file copied to C:\ProgramData\Desoutter\DeMeter\API is never modified on upgrade, reference file in C:\Program Files\Desoutter\DeMeter may be updated at any time to add / overwrite any port configuration required for a new feature.

Contact your remote support team for any help or additional information about this step of your installation.

1. Copy the installer to the server.
2. Open the installer by double-clicking on DeMeterCollector_X.X.X.X_setup.exe.
   
3. Click Install then wait for the installation to complete.

DeMeter Collector service is started automatically at the end of the installation.

This section describes DeMeter Collector port configuration procedure.

This procedure is optional: DeMeter Collector can operate with its default port settings. The same conditions as for DeMeter apply to decide whether a specific configuration needs to be carried out.

To install DeMeter collector:

1. Open C:\Program Filess (x86)\Desoutter\DeMeterCollector\appsettings.ini file.
2. Edit Server_Port_Number and HMI_Server_Port_Number to match your IT requirements then save the file.
3. Restart DeMeter Collector.

Note: if a certificate is setup for DeMeter, it is mandatory to further edit the file C:\Program Filess (x86)\Desoutter\DeMeterCollector\appsettings.ini. Please refer to Desoutter Industrial Tools : Installing a certificate for TLS secure access to Demeter (desouttertools.com) for further guidance.

1. Copy the Open Protocol Adapter installer to the DeMeter server.
2. Start the installer by double clicking on CVINet_OpenProtocolAdapter_X.X.X.X_setup.exe.
   
3. Start the installation after providing all requested information (we recommend using the default suggested settings). Wait for said installation to complete.
   

CVINet – Open Protocol Adapter service starts automatically once the installation process is complete.

Starting with DeMeter version 2.9.1, DeMeter Collector version 1.5.1 and Open Protocol version 5.0.0.7, no Open Protocol Licence is necessary anymore.

As soon as Open Protocol Adaptor connects to DeMeter Collector, the system considers that a valid license is active. This can be checked by browsing to http://localhost:8585/Registration via a web browser running on the server.

If you previously had a license installed for your Open Protocol Adaptor, it will be carried over.

While DeMeter Collector is setup for minimum to no configuration change to be done after installation to connect to DeMeter (providing default settings are used), Open Protocol Adapter needs to be setup separately.

The easiest way to achieve this is to use Open Protocol Adapter dedicated web admin page:

1. Navigate to http://localhost:8585/Settings from the server hosting the service.
2. Fill in the IP Address and Port Number fields: they must be set to connect to DeMeter Collector. With Open Protocol Adapter installed on the same machine as your DeMeter server and set to its default settings, the values should respectively be set at 127.0.0.1 for the IP Address and 10002 for the Port Number.
   

Note: port number must be consistent with the DeMeter Collector port setup for tightening data retrieval.
