If you want a different ALPR Manager role to manage and control an ALPR or Genetec Patroller™ unit, for load balancing or another purpose, you can move the unit to another ALPR Manager using the Move unit tool. After the unit is moved, the old ALPR Manager continues to manage the unit data collected before the move.
What you should know
After you move a unit in Config Tool, you need to update the unit’s network settings in Patroller Config Tool and in the Sharp Portal so that the unit can communicate with its new ALPR Manager. Specific unit settings (for example, unit name, logical ID, and so on) are automatically carried over to the new ALPR Manager.
For example, if you move a Patroller unit from ALPR Manager to ALPR Manager 2, you must configure the Patroller unit to communicate with ALPR Manager 2 the same way you did when you originally added the unit to ALPR Manager. This requires changing network settings in Patroller Config Tool so that they match the network settings for ALPR Manager 2 in Security Center Config Tool.
Procedure
-
From the Unit type list in the Move
unit dialog box, select the Patroller or ALPR unit you want to
move.
