Note that you may not see the
EventManager
or
IR
directories until you have started using the Event
Manager and IR Learning features, as explained in the following subsections.
EventManager
This directory is created when you create a custom Event, Action, or Variable from the Event Manager
web page (see
The Event Manager Web Page
, page
61
). All Event Manager data is stored in the file
EventManager.wem
and backed up in the file
EventBackup.wem
. Access to these files are
provided for your own convenience, so that you may archive your backups, restore a backup, or create
“frequently-used” sets of Event data that may readily be copied to other WACIs.
Some tips to keep in mind while manipulating the
EventManager.wem
file:
•
This file is read only ONCE, at boot time. The Event Manager may WRITE to the file while
the WACI is operation, but it will not read it again. To reread the file, the WACI must be
reset or powered off and back on.
•
Disable the Event Manager before deleting or writing over the
EventManager.wem
file.
•
Reset the WACI (or power off and back on) to read an
EventManager.wem
file that has
been copied, moved into this directory.
IR
When the WACI learns one or more IR commands for a device (see
Learn IR Command
, page
47
), all the
commands for that device are saved as a group in one file (you choose a name for this Group/File in Step
1 of the IR learning process). These groups of commands are stored as data files in the
IR
directory with
the extension
.WIR
.
For example, if you created an A
cmeDVD
group of commands and an
AcmePlasma
group of
commands, you should see the files
AcmeDVD.WIR
and
AcmePlasma.WIR
in the
IR
directory.
Access to these files are provided for your own convenience, so that you may backup your IR commands,
restore a backup, or easily distribute groups of commands to other WACIs. The
.WIR
files are read by
the WACI as it uses them, so moving or updating a file through the FTP directory does not require that
you restart the WACI. The
.WIR
file names should contain letters, numbers, and the “_”. No spaces
should be in the name.
wwwpub
In the event that it is convenient to develop custom web pages to monitor and operate your WACI, the
WACI has a built-in web server that will serve up your custom web pages from this directory.
Any custom web pages uploaded to the
wwwpub
directory may be viewed at:
http://[IP Address or Host Name]/
