Testing and accepting a configuration
ML Gateway keeps three independent versions of the configuration. Each configuration consists of the set of devices, connection settings, resources
and macros.
At all times, the active configuration is running. The user cannot modify this configuration directly, as it could disrupt the behaviour of the
installation.
Instead the user can change the ‘edit’ configuration from the user interface. All device settings, resources and macros modified by the user do not
become active, but only change this edited configuration.
The user can test if the modifications being made work as expected by selecting the
Test
button in the web-based user interface. This will
momentarily stop the active configuration and run a copy of the edited configuration.
If everything runs as expected during the test, the configuration can be accepted by selecting the
Save
button. This way the configuration being
tested becomes the active configuration. Otherwise the
Cancel
button restarts the original active configuration.
Use the Discard button to delete all your edits and start over again with a new copy of Current active version.
During testing the monitor and system log screens are useful to see if the new modifications are working as expected.
When accepting a configuration, the previously active configuration is not lost, but saved as the previous configuration. Use the
Previous
button
to return to this saved configuration (current active version and Backup/Previous version are swapped).
All three versions of the configuration can be downloaded from ML Gateway for reference, backup, or uploading to another ML Gateway unit.
Note that the edit configuration may not to be recovered in the latest version in case of a power failure. The active and previous configurations are
always stored in permanent memory. It is strongly recommended that you accept changes to the configuration after testing, so that these changes
are not lost.
