Legible Configuration Management
The
Legible Configuration Management
is used to manually manage the configuration on the Quadro. This will allow you to download a piece of
configuration from the Quadro in the way of legible file, to make necessary changes in that file and to upload it back to the same or different
Quadro(s). With this service, some pieces of configuration (like extension settings, NAT settings, etc.) of one Quadro can be used on another
Quadro. This also helps to apply the same group of settings to the several instances (for example, to apply the same SIP settings to multiple
extensions on the Quadro) on the same or different Quadros avoiding manual configuration of each of those instances (i.e. extension) from the web
management on each of the Quadros. The Quadro reseller, distributor, ISP or carrier usually uses this service.
The
Download current configuration in a legible format
link refers to the
Configuration Summary
page where a partial or complete
configuration can be defined and downloaded or viewed.
The
Configuration Summary
page is used to generate a piece of legible configuration and to download it to a PC or to view it directly in the
browser. This page consists of the following components:
The
CGI Description
drop down list includes a list of Web
management pages for which the legible configuration can be
manually managed. For example, selecting "RTP Settings" Web
management page will generate a legible configuration file with
parameters present on the RTP Settings page.
The
Generate for Extension
drop down list allows you to limit
the settings in the generated legible configuration file to one
specific extension. For example, each of the extensions on the
Quadro have own SIP settings or Codecs. To download the
settings for a particular extension only, you need to choose the
corresponding extension from the list. The drop down may also
have a blank selection. In that case the legible configuration file
will contain the parameter of all available extensions on the
Quadro (if the selected parameter applies to the extension and
not to the overall system, like RTP settings).
The
Start generate a legible configuration file
button start
parsing the configuration structure of the device for the defined
parameters. The progress will be displayed in the area below.

Configuration Summary – Parameters page
The
Cancel generation process
button appears when the
configuration generation procedure starts and it is used to stop it.
The
Download generated configuration
button becomes
available when the legible configuration generation is finished. It
is used to download the generated file to the PC in a plain text
format. Necessary changes can be made in the downloaded
configuration file and then uploaded back to the system.
Attention:
Make sure the changes you have done in the
downloaded legible configuration file are valid and will not
corrupt the system when being uploaded back to device.
The
View generated configuration
button becomes available
when the legible configuration generation is finished. It is used to
view the generated file directly in the browser.
The
Restart generation!
button becomes available when the
legible configuration generation is finished. It is used to cancel
the generated configuration file and to start over.

The
Upload Legible Configuration
page is used to upload a configuration file in a text format. The
Browse
button in the opened page is used to
browse certain legible configuration file to be uploaded and updated into the system. The configuration files to be uploaded should be in the *.txt
format, otherwise a system error occurs. Configuration file upload progress will be displayed in the area below.
Events
The
Events
page has two tables. All system events that have occurred will be displayed in one table and event settings will be displayed in the other.
The
System Events
page may be accessed through the
Events
link from the main menu. It lists information about system events
that have occurred on Quadro. When a new event takes place, a
record is added to the System Event table. For failure events
(priority 2 and 3, see below), the warning “Please check your
pending events!” will appear at the bottom of all management
pages.
The system events and the warning message are visible only for
the administrator. The warning link, (which leads directly to the
System Events
page) will disappear from the management
pages if the administrator has marked all new events as “read”.
