You can replace a SharpV unit without losing
any of its associated plate reads by swapping the connection parameters of the old unit with a
new unit.
Before you begin
In Security Desk, run a
Reads report and a
Hits report on the Sharp unit you want to replace. You need these reports
to verify that the data has been transferred to the new Sharp unit.
Procedure
-
Add the new Sharp entity in the ALPR Manager.
NOTE: The name you use for the new entity is not important. At the end of the camera
replacement procedure, the connection parameters of the entities will be switched
and you will delete the entity you are adding now.
-
Copy the configuration settings of the old Sharp entity to the new Sharp entity using the Copy configuration tool.
-
Power down the old Sharp unit.
-
In Config Tool, click .
-
In the Unit type option, select ALPR
units.
-
Select the Old and the New
Sharp units.
-
Click Swap.
When the Sharp unit has been
replaced, the system displays the message: "The operation was successful". The
connection parameters of the new Sharp unit
are now associated with the reads and hits from the old Sharp unit.
-
Verify that the reads and hits are still associated with the old Sharp entity by running a Security Center
Reads report and a Hits report. Compare these reports to the ones you
ran before the swap operation to ensure that the data has been successfully
transferred.
The Sharp entities have been swapped in Security Center. The old Sharp unit
now has the new entity name and is displayed in the ALPR Manager with the message:
"Delete me".
-
Right-click the Sharp entity and select Delete. In the
confirmation dialog box that opens, click Delete.
