Install System Management Server

Regardless of the size of your system setup, only one System Management Server is required for encrypted communication. System Management Server can be installed on one of the machines running an AVEVA application or on a separate machine on the network.

Note: You need to include only one System Management Server in your entire system. If other AVEVA products are installed, confirm that System Management Server has not been configured elsewhere before proceeding, as communication disruptions may occur.

System Management Server can also be installed in a large, multi-site environment running multiple AVEVA products. In such systems, the location of the System Management Server may be governed by one or more products. However, all AVEVA products should be able to connect to the System Management Server so that certificates can be renewed when required.

An example configuration of a multi-site system is shown below:
