You can go through all the configurations making any changes and when you save
your changes you will something like the picture below, where it shows you which
configurations have been changed and what the next actions are.
A complete configuration file set is saved on the Primary server so when a device
that was offline is back online if changes were made to the offline configurations it will
ask you if you want to update the configuration for that system.
You can either retain the configuration on that system or replace the configuration
with the one that is stored on the Primary server. This would be the same mechanism
that is used to resolve any local changes that have been made, for example changes
made in a rainy day scenario.
The Server Edition Manager can also create/load/edit/save a complete offline ‘file
set’. Saving a file set creates a cfi index file plus a copy of all of the configuration
files.
Please note that connectivity to each server and expansion system is required from
the Server Edition Manager PC.
IP Office Manager Templates
A new feature in manager is Templates. They allow you to create a template from an
existing configuration item to re-use at a later date. A good use of this is creating
users.
By default all new systems in the Server Edition network, including IP500v2
expansion systems, have no users until you create them. Using a template you could
create a user, add some button programming and other settings and then export this
as a template. You can then create new users from this template, when you create
the users you can either create a single user or you can create a range of users.
