The Configuration Page
On loading the interface, you will see a tool bar along the top and bottom of the page. It holds some information
across all the configuration pages. The information is as follows:
Host Name
- The host name given to the PhidgetSBC on the network.
Uptime
- Total time elapsed since the last reboot.
Load
- The average CPU utilization in the last minute, 5 minute, and 10 minute durations.

Save Changes
- This button appears on screens which have modifiable fields. Clicking save does not cause
immediate changes, but instead adds them to a pending changes list which can be reviewed and committed later.
Commit Changes
- This button only appears if there are entries in the pending changes list. Clicking it will cause all
entries in the list to be committed and take immediate effect.
Clear Changes
- Here, we can clear the pending changes list without applying them. This button only appears if
there are entries in the pending changes list.
Review Changes
- This button only appears if there are entries in the pending changes list. Click to see a list of all
pending changes before they’re made.
