    Article summary

    The icom Data Suite is a Device App for installation on an INSYS router with icom OS.

    It is a comprehensive, flexible and scalable software package for the interconnection of data points with an INSYS router.

    Situation

    The icom Data Suite for INSYS routers with icom OS is running in a container that only needs to be uploaded to the router and configured. The container will be supplied in form of an update packet. It can be downloaded here, on our Release Notes site and from our icom Data Suite Update Server.

    The icom Data Suite requires a valid licence with the respective activated functionality after installation. An overview of the different licences with and without costs as well as the possibility for purchase is available on our Website. Without a license file, you have full access to the configuration, but some features will not be functional. Starting with version 1.12 of the icom Data Suite, it is possible to start a free trial period. All functions of the icom Data Suite are available without any restrictions until expiry of this test period.

    Solution

    It is recommended to commission the router as suggested in the Quick Installation Guide. Different settings of the router may result in necessary adjustments of the settings described in the following.
    The following describes the installation via the installation wizard, which makes the installation of the icom Data Suite very easy, as well as the manual installation.
    It is prerequisite that you have access to the user interface of the router.
