6—XML SETUP FILE
SER-32e setup data is stored in non-volatile memory in an XML file format. While the
normal method for configuring the unit is through its embedded web pages, setup
changes can also be made by editing the XML setup file using a text editor, such as
Microsoft® Notepad. In the setup/admin section you can download the _SETUP.XML,
modify it, and then upload it to the unit, or to a different unit. In this way, standard
setup templates can be created and replicated quickly across multiple units.
Setup File Overview
Note: the XML setup file should only be modified by
advanced users familiar with XML structure, since
errors could cause the SER to malfunction.
XML Setup File Example
The XML setup file is called “_SETUP.XML”. An excerpt of the XML setup file is shown
below.
