The aggregator Aggregator supports connecting machines from multiple facilities to one 3YOURMIND Agile MES instance. For this, 2 network setups are possibleTo achieve such connection, one or both of the following network setups can be used:
One
...
Aggregator per facility
...
In this case, the aggregator Aggregator is running in each facility/network individually.
Advantage:
No port forwarding or firewall rules are neededThe persons setting up the aggregator can easier .
It might be easier for the network administrator to obtain IP addresses and Ports ports of the printers, which are needed for proper configuration of the Aggregator.
Disadvantage:
Each facility needs to setup the aggregatorAggregator. Probably multiple Multiple administrators might need to be involved.
One
...
Aggregator for all facilities
...
In this case, one aggregator Aggregator is deployed on a central location (e.g. within the same environment as the 3YOURMIND Agile MES Softwareinstance).
Advantage:
One single instance of the aggregator Aggregator needs to be set up. This could be handled by one single person.
...
Each printer needs to be accessible by the aggregator Aggregator on a printer-specific port. Those Ports ports need to get be forwarded per printer. Firewall rules need to get adjustedbe adjusted.
Collecting all IP addresses and ports might be harder.
