VBrick H.264 Appliance Admin Guide 15
Read System Configuration
This function lets you read configuration parameters from the VBrick appliance to a file, as
well as write configuration parameters from a file to the VBrick. The file is an .xml file and
Internet Explorer is the assumed browser. Note that the VBrick appliance the .xml file is read
from, and VBrick appliance the .xml file is written to, should be running the same version of
code. Mismatched versions may work but are not supported or guaranteed.
Use any text editor, preferably an .xml editor to make changes to the file. You can change the
"values" field as well as delete objects as necessary. Make sure the right data types are used.
For example if a parameter takes integer values, do not enter a string. Also IP Address
parameters must have the right IP syntax. Enter "0.0.0.0" to enter a null IP address. Blanks
and null strings are not valid IP Addresses.
You can read the configuration parameters from the VBrick by clicking the
Read button on
the page. After clicking on the button, an xml document with all the configuration
parameters will pop up (see Figure 4). The .xml document can then be saved to your PC as an
.xml file using
File > Save As. To view this file offline, you must download the style sheet to
the same directory as the saved file. Do not change the name of the style sheet. It should
always be saved as cfgdata.xsl and the first line at the top of the configuration file must
always be:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="cfgdata.xsl"?>
Default All Sets all parameters except Network DHCP, IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway IP, User Names, Passwords and System Date & Time.
Factory Defaults Sets all parameters to factory defaults with the exception of System
Date and Time.
Note .xml configuration files from VB6000 Series appliances are not
compatible with
VBrick 7000 Series models. Do not try to run VB6000 Series configuration files on
VBrick 7000 Series appliances.
Note Firefox users: To view or save the configuration file, click Read. Then go to File >
Save Page As and save the file as Web Page, XML only. Then download the stylesheet
to the same folder and you can view the configuration file using the stylesheet.
