The number of Cores used exclusively by RavenDB is scalable as you increase the number of assets connected to the system, but also the number of features used. These Cores are going to be taken from your supplied hardware (or virtual machine), ensuring that the data retrieval speed is at its peak.

Note, though, that this is subject to licensing from RavenDB, so be sure to get in touch with your local Desoutter representative to get the proper license for your system.

Find below a table summarising the recommended numbers of RavenDB Cores against the number of connected assets.

Number of Assets	Number of RavenDB Core
Up to 100	3
Between 101 and 250	6
Between 251 and 500	12
501 and above	24

You will also need a dedicated DRIM for DeMeter to properly operate.

The DRIM will need to be loaded with a number of UVs to allow you to both create and run your dashboards, but also connect your assets.

⚠

When assigning Cores to RavenDB, please consider extending the number of cores assigned to the server running DeMeter. Not doing so would limit the overall system performances of DeMeter.
A figure to be considered is to have a 2 to 1 ratio between the total number of cores and the RavenDB assigned core: if you have 6 cores assigned to RavenDB, you should have a total of 12 cores for your server (with an absolute minimum of 8 cores).

2- Software and Network requirements

2.1- DeMeter software suite overview and description

The softwares within the DeMeter suite you need to install depend on the data you want to retrieve, store and analyse.

Use below description as a reference for each software in the suite.

Software	Purpose	Mandatory
DeMeter	DeMeter system core software. It will allow you to: Collect data from the Infinity Client stations and display your preferred key indicators. Collect user information from DeSoutter tightening systems. Retrieve data from an existing CVINet system.	Yes
DeMeter Collector	Mandatory to retrieve tightening results from DeSoutter tightening systems (CVI-II / CVI3 / CONNECT) without the need for an additional CVINet installation. DeMeter Collector is also mandatory tor retrieve tightening results via Open Protocol from third party controllers.	No
Open Protocol Adaptor	It retrieves the data from third party tightening system via a dedicated Open Protocol connection (numerical results - curves). DeMeter Collector must have been installed. The system is only compatible with version 5.0.0.5 and upward.	No
DeMeter Assistant	Mobile phone application dedicated to Andon calls: key operators are warned whenever an incident occurs on the line.	No

Contact your remote support team to get all the latest software versions required for your setup or to ensure your DeMeter installation covers all your needs.

Note: a database is automatically installed while running the DeMeter installation: RavenDB. No further database configuration is therefore required before installing the software suite.

Keep in mind that DeMeter Collector and Open Protocol Adaptor versions must also both be consistent with each other: see the compatibility matrix below:

DeMeter Collector and Open Protocol versions compatibility matrix		DeMeter Collector versions
		1.4.2 or below	1.5.1 or above
Open Protocol Adaptor version	5.0.0.6 or below	Compatibles	Not Compatibles
Open Protocol Adaptor version	5.0.0.7 or above	Not Comptatibles	Compatibles

Note: DeMeter 2.9.1 is not compatible with DeMeter Collector versions below 1.5.1. Please upgrade the software where required.

2.2- Network requirements

The next chapters list all the ports required by the DeMeter software suite to run, alongside a brief description of their respective purpose.

2.2.1- DeMeter network requirements and port settings

Port Number	Type	Description	Configurable	Mandatory
80 / 443 *()**	TCP	Default communication port for DeMeter API. Port 80: default port for web browser access. Port 443: secured port for TLS communication.	Yes ()*	Yes
1664	TCP ()**	Port used by DeMeterBI for reporting purpose.	Yes ()*	Yes
1883	TCP	Port dedicated to communication with all Desoutter devices (tightening systems - PivotWare - ....) via MQTT.	Yes ()*	Yes
1980	TCP ()**	Port dedicated to Feature Management communication with your DRIM.	Yes ()*	Yes
8666	TCP ()**	Port dedicated to the communication with RavenDB API.	Yes ()*	Yes

(*) - 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 .

2.2.2- DeMeter Collector network requirements and port settings

Port Number	Type	Description	Configurable	Mandatory
10002	TCP	Port for communication with: Desoutter tightening systems. Open Protocol Adapter.	Yes *()**	Yes ()**
10021	TCP	Port dedicated to DeMeter Collector monitoring interface.	Yes *()**	Yes ()**

(*) - 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.

2.2.3- Open Protocol adapter network requirements and port settings

Port Number	Type	Description	Configurable	Mandatory
8585	TCP	Port dedicated for monitoring connected devices and configuring the connections.	No *()**	Yes ()**
Open Protocol	TCP	All ports dedicated to tightening data retrieval from third party controller systems. These ports must be consistent with third party configuration	Yes *()**	Yes ()**

2.2.4- Working with Operator Calls and Alerts

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.

2.3- Software requirements

DeMeter requires, either to run or to get installed, a number of software to be installed and up-to-date to run.

2.3.1- Supported Web browsers

The following Web browsers are supported:

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

2.3.2- Installed software requirements

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.

The following services must be started:

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

3.1.2- DeMeter further configuration (optional)

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:

Copy / paste appsettings.json file from C:\Program Files\Desoutter\DeMeter to C:\ProgramData\Desoutter\DeMeter\API.
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.
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.

3.2- DeMeter Collector installation and configuration (optional)

This section describes DeMeter Collector installation procedure.

This installation is optional, and depends on the data you wish to retrieve. Refer to 2.1- Identifying the required software to install from the DeMeter suite .

3.2.1- DeMeter Collector installation

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

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

3.2.2- DeMeter Collector further configuration (optional)

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:

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

3.3- Open Protocol Adapter installation and configuration (optional)

This section describes Open Protocol Adapter installation procedure.

3.3.1- Open Protocol Adapter installation procedure

Copy the Open Protocol Adapter installer to the DeMeter server.
Start the installer by double clicking on CVINet_OpenProtocolAdapter_X.X.X.X_setup.exe.
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.

3.3.2- Open Protocol Adapter License

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.

3.3.3- Open Protocol Adapter setup

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:

Navigate to http://localhost:8585/Settings from the server hosting the service.
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: the port number must be consistent with the DeMeter Collector port setup for tightening data retrieval.

3.4- Troubleshooting

This section provides a few troubleshooting tips.

DeMeter service does not start: check that Visual C++ is installed on the server. Refer to 2.3.2- Pre-installed software requirements.
One or more DeMeter related service does not start: check whether several services do not share the same port. Please use the command netstat -anb launched via a Windows Command Tool started as an administrator to list all attributed ports, and the software they are associated to.
