Server Configuration File Management
The
Setup > Server > Configuration Mgmt
screen is used to store, manage, and recall
configuration backup files. You can create a copy of the current configuration settings
and review previously saved configuration files. Each configuration backup is stored in
an encrypted ZIP file that contains all settings selected in the setup process. The backup
configuration files do not save Network setup, the email server name, user accounts,
and license keys. Sound level settings are stored when a configuration backup file is
created, and are optionally restorable.
Server Configuration File Management Screen
The image above shows a current and previous backup configuration files. Three main
areas to review on the Server Configuration File Management screen are the Previous
Configuration (top of screen), a list of Configuration Backup Files (middle of screen),
and an Upload Server Configuration backup file (purple shaded box at bottom of
screen).
When the EAS device is configured for the first time, and before a backup configuration
file is made, the page states,
There are no backup configuration files yet
. Remember
to return to this page to create a backup configuration file after you have completed
setting up the EAS device, or after you make significant changes.
To create the first backup configuration file, click the
Make Backup
button. After the
first backup file is made, a pull-down list titled
List of Configuration Backup Files
appears, and the new file name appears in this list. All other standard configuration
Attention
A recent backup
configuration file is
highly recommended
.
Backup configuration
files serve as a safety
precaution. They
provide a way to restore
your EAS device settings
in case of catastrophic
disk failure or upgrade
error, or to restore the
state of former settings
when experimenting
with new settings. The
backup allows you
to easily and quickly
return to the previous
settings if a serious
configuration mistake
is made. The backup
configuration file can
also be downloaded to
another computer for
offline saving. Later, the
backup configuration
can be uploaded and
reinstalled. The same
configuration file
can also be used to
configure another EAS
device.
