Configuration
General configuration
From Overview screen, click Configure.
The General configuration properties define the name of your site, the Firmware Revision
of the RD500 application, and allow the user to set the time and date, as well as enabling
the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) Client.
•
The Site Name property allows a descriptive name to be applied to the RD500. This
is useful when more than one RD500 is deployed at multiple locations, as the site
names can identify specific locations.
•
The Configuration Database Action allows the user to:
• Reboot with Current Configuration
• Clear to Factory Default: backs up original configuration file with extension .old.
Event logs are removed and data log files may be overwritten (be sure to backup
before selecting Clear to Factory Default).
• Clear to Factory Default Keep Network Settings: backs up original configuration
file with extension old, and maintains network settings.
• Format CF Card: Removes all data from CompactFlash card
• Backup to CF Card: Backs up RD500 configuration settings to CF card only. Log
files will not be backed up.
• Restore from CF Card. (This option will not be available directly after a Clear to
Factory Default, because the RD500 will create a new configuration file; or, a
previously saved backup file must be copied to CF card).
•
To set the Time and Date fields, edit the Time or Date field in question, then check
the Set Time checkbox, and then click Apply.
