Edge Package Overview

Describe, which Software packages are delivered with the Senseforce Edge solution

Senseforce Edge comes with 3 main components:

  • SF Edge console application (Luna.exe)

  • SF Edge Windows service application (Luna.Service.exe)

  • SF Edge Windows service installer application (Luna.Setup.exe)

SF Edge console application

The Luna.exe starts SF Edge using the configuration files located in

[SF Edge main installation folder]/configs/

Use Luna.exe to test the configuration as well as network connectivity. The configurations used for the console application may be copy-pasted to the configuration location of the Windows services (see below)

SF Edge Windows service application

Luna.Service.exe is used to run SF Edge as a Windows service.

When starting the Luna.Service.exe directly, an SF Edge instance starts which behaves similar to the SF Edge console application.

To register SF Edge as a Windows service, use the Luna.Setup.exe service installer application (see the section below)

It is recommended to not start the Luna.Service.exe manually but instead uses the Windows service facilities to start SF Edge as a service, as described in the following chapters.
