Adding Server Locations

Before you deploy a server (mobile device or infrastructure) to a server location, you must add that server location to the Avalanche Console. When you create a new server location, you give the server location a name and identify the IP address and physical location.

Location Name	Name of the new server location.
Location Site Address	IP address of the server location.
OS Platform	The operating system of the computer where the server will be installed.
Server Location City Name	The city where the server will reside. This allows Avalanche to plot the server location on its map. When you provide a city name, Avalanche will attempt to connect to a database on the Wavelink web site to find cities with that name.
Bypass this search	Allows you to create a location but bypass the attempt to connect to the city database. If you bypass the search, the server location will not appear on the map.
Time Zone	The time zone for the area where the server resides. If servers are in different time zones, this can affect synchronization schedules.
User Name	The username for an account that has administrative access to the computer where the server will be installed. The user must have full control for the shared folder.
Password	The password for the user account.
Domain	The domain for the user account.
Share Name	The name of a shared folder on the computer where the server will be installed. The user must have full control for this folder. This folder must be created and shared access allowed before you attempt to deploy a server to the server location or the deployment will fail.
Share Path	The path for the shared folder. This path is NOT the network path (such as \\system1\deploy\), but is the local path to the shared folder (such as c:\deploy\).

To add a server location:

Select File > New > Create Server Location.

The New Server Location Wizard appears.

Provide the information as prompted by the wizard. When you provide the shared folder information, Avalanche attempts to contact the server location to verify that all the information is correct. After a few moments, the Connection Results dialog box appears and displays if a connection was established to the servers.

Click Next.

The Server Location Created dialog box appears.

Click Finish.

The server location appears in the region where you created it. You can assign the server location to a different region, deploy servers to the server location or modify the server location. For information on deploying servers, see Building Server Deployment Packages.
