The Solstice Dashboard for Enterprise Edition is a centralized management tool that can be used to monitor, configure and update Solstice Enterprise Edition Pods and Windows Software instances on a network. While each Solstice display can be configured individually via the local configuration panel, the Solstice Dashboard allows an IT administrator to manage larger deployments of Solstice from a central location. Note that standard, non-Enterprise-Edition instances of Solstice will appear in the Solstice Dashboard but will not be manageable. These instances will need to be upgraded to Enterprise Edition to be manageable via the Solstice Dashboard. When upgrading Solstice components to a new software version, Mersive highly recommends updating the Dashboard before updating endpoints or the Solstice Discovery Service. <BR><B>Dashboard Overview</B>:<BR>The Solstice Dashboard is available as a free download and runs on a Windows host on the same network as the Solstice Enterprise Edition Pods and/or Solstice Software instances it will be used to manage (or where the appropriate IP routes exists). The Windows host may be a Windows 7, 8, or 10 computer or a Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 with qWAVE installed and a quad core processor with 12GB RAM minimum. A Windows 2016 Server may be used if desktop experience is enabled. <BR><BR>The Solstice Dashboard should be installed on a Windows computer that the IT administrator uses regularly. It can also be installed on multiple PCs to manage the Solstice displays on the network from multiple locations.<BR><BR>The image below depicts the Solstice Dashboard interface once displays have been added to the instance panel to be managed. The Dashboard is divided into two main panels. At left is the instances panel, which is used to select one or more Solstice displays to manage. At right is the Dashboard configuration panel where you can enable and change settings to fit your use case.<BR><BR>The Solstice Dashboard enables administrative control of three major components:<BR><BR><LI>Solstice Instances: Add or remove Solstice displays (Pods and/or Windows hosts) on the network to/from your Dashboard.
