CMG-DCM
4 Configuration options
All DCM modules feature an on-board Web server, which you can use to set up
the unit.When you first connect to the module, you will be shown a menu tree in
a panel on the left, with a summary of its current status (see
Section 5.7,
“Summary”
) on the right.
Links in the section of the menu tree marked Configuration allow you to change
the settings used by the DCM itself. Once you have changed settings on any
page, you should click Save changes at the bottom of the page for the DCM to
make your new choices active. If you move to a different page without saving
the settings, your changes will be lost.
To change the configuration of the digitizer(s) and instrument(s) attached to the
DCM, you should use the Actions
Digitizer Setup
→
page (see
Chapter 5,
“Actions”
.)
Note: The DCM is a highly flexible unit, which can be supplied with a range of
feature sets depending on your requirements. A stand-alone DCM unit normally
has most of these options available to the user. However, some of the settings
described below may not be relevant to your installation, and thus will not be
available.
Conversely, a DCM may be supplied which supports multiple instances of a
particular service (e.g. several CD1.1 transmitters.) In this case, each instance
will have its own configuration page, which will appear as described below for
that service. Users of installations which include several types of DCM or AM
(Authentication Module) will find that each unit offers a different range of
configuration options, according to its specialization as a component in the
system.
In this chapter, the name of each setting is marked in italics. This name is
shown on the Web page interface, and can also be used to access the setting
using the
gcfgdbset
command (see
Section 6.2, “Command line tools”
.)
4.1 General
This page contains a single setting.
general.hostname : This is the host name the DCM will use to identify itself. It
is normally the first part of the module's fully-qualified domain name, for
example, a DCM at myinst.bignet.org would have its host name set to myinst.
