Using Connectivity Package Manager

This section describes the main fuctions of the Connectivity Package Manager.

Associating connectivity package versions

When the Connectivity Package Manager is started, it shows all the applications and
tools supporting connectivity concept, as well as the connectivity packages installed
on your computer. You can expand and collapse the Connectivity Package
Manager's tree structure to see which connectivity package versions are currently
used in the different applications and tools.
You can browse in the object tree with mouse or keyboard's arrow keys. You can
expand and collaps the nodes by clicking the
arrow keys. You can also use the commands from the View menu to expand and
collaps the nodes.
If the check box beside the version name is selected, the particular version of the
connectivity package is used in the application or tool. If you clear all the versions
of one connectivity package, the application or tool no longer uses that connectivity
package the next time you start it. This will save some processing time during the
application or tool startup.
If you have already installed some other connectivity packages, the Connectivity
Package Manager detects them and checks if they can be used with the new IEDs. If
the installed connectivity packages are from a wrong version extension, the
Connectivity Package Manager prevents them to associate with the new IEDs.
To select the latest versions for all the installed connectivity packages select Set
Latest > Set Latest Versions to All. The program goes through all the installed
connectivity packages shown in the object tree and selects the most recent version
for all of them, see Fig. 3.2.1.-1.
