Configuration File Upload

Configuration Files contain collections of NetRS control settings. They are based on the Linux configuration files that are used internally to configure the various functions in the NetRS. Configuration Files can be used to record the settings of these controls. At a later time, the Configuration File can be applied to the NetRS to set the controls back to a known state. It is also possible to transfer the controls from one NetRS system to another, to make one system a clone of the other.

Configuration files can be created and managed by using controls on the Configuration Files page. An existing configuration file can be downloaded to an external computer. From there it can be uploaded to one or more NetRS systems, so that the control settings in the file can be installed. The Upload Configuration File link on the controls page leads to the set of controls for uploading a file. Use the Browse button to select the file to upload. Or you can simply type in the path to the file. Click on the Upload button to trigger the file transfer.

As much as possible, the name of the chosen file will be preserved when it is transfered to the NetRS. Space characters in the name will be changed to underscores. No path information will be preserved. If there is a pre-existing Configuration File with the same name on the NetRS, it will be overwritten.

Uploading a Configuration File does not immediately apply its contents. Use the Apply button on the Configuration Files page to install the new controls settings.
