Locating the current installation dir

AdvanNet saves a copy of all installations applied to the device but only one is used at any given moment, to locate the current installation directory please follow these steps:

• 1. Check if the folder /home/keonn/kernel/module/app.AdvanNet/alternatives exists, if it doesn't the current installation dir is /home/keonn/kernel/module/app.AdvanNet if not, please continue with the next step

  2. The contents of the folder /home/keonn/kernel/module/app.AdvanNet/alternatives will be like:

• • 1. where the last 3 digits is the ordinal number of the installation, the current installation folder is the latest, or the folder with the highest ordinal number. (e.g. /home/keonn/kernel/module/app.AdvanNet/alternatives/2.5.4-01.004 )

Download the configuration

Using filezilla, download the following files:

• • ${currentInstallationFolder}/META-INF/connectors.xml

• • ${currentInstallationFolder}/META-INF/devices/<device>.xml (example of device is adsf-100-eu.02.xml)

Edit the configuration

The configuration is in XML format, the tag to change is the id, in both files has to be the same id, which will then be reflected in AdvanNet Manager (web application):

• connnectors.xml

• <device>.xml

The result in AdvanNet Manager can be seen in the following image:

• • ${currentInstallationFolder}/META-INF/connectors.xml

• • ${currentInstallationFolder}/META-INF/devices/<device>.xml (example of device is adsf-100-eu.02.xml)
