The settings on this page control the interaction of ARC
Solo with the Warp Engine polling feature in AutoPilot®.
ARC Solo units running firmware 1.0.29 or later are
compatible with the AutoPilot Warp Engine.
Warp Engine polling is fast, enabling real-time monitoring
of up to 100 sites per second, with each site reporting as
many as 32 status and/or meter values. Larger networks
just take a little longer, for example polling up to 500 sites
in 5 seconds. Warp Engine polling is efficient in its use of
communications bandwidth. It uses very small packets,
sending only required data and minimizing
communications overhead. Polling 32 channels from 100
sites requires only 37,800 bytes per second of IP capacity
at the central site, and only 378 bytes per second at each
remote site. If communications bandwidth is at a
premium cost, it can be further reduced by selection of a
slower poling rate.
