Adding a DGE Extension

1. Log in to the Traverse Web Application as superuser.
2. Navigate to Superuser > DGE Mgmt > Create New DGE Extension.
3. In the Create DGE Extension form, configure the properties:
   • Unique Name: The same unique name as configured on the DGE-extension host.
   • Description: Provide some additional descriptive information.
   • Upstream DGE: From the drop-menu menu, choose the real DGE that you want the DGE-extension to send data to.
   • Upstream DGE Fully Qualified Host Name / IP Address: Specify the IP address or hostname of the upstream DGE. On a DGE behind a NAT address space, you must enter an IP address for the DGE which is reachable by the DGE-extension. Do NOT enter localhost or 127.0.0.1 or some internal unreachable IP address since the DGE-extension will try to connect to this IP address.

     Note: By default, the configured address of the DGE is filled in. If the upstream DGE has multiple IP addresses, set this field to an IP address that is reachable by the DGE-extension.

     • Soft Limit
     • Hard Limit

   

4. Click Create DGE Extension.

   The new DGE-extension appears under DGE Management, and it will be available as a location option when users add devices.

Configuring the DGE Name

1. Install the DGE software on the new DGE-extension host and reboot the system.
2. On the DGE-extension host, edit <TRAVERSE_HOME>/etc/dge.xml to verify the unique name of this DGE-extension. The install process will automatically set this for you, so you will only need to edit this file if you are making name changes after installation.
3. Log in to the BVE as an end user and add devices and tests to the DGE.
