Figure 4. Sample VBrick Configuration File
Restore System Configuration
This function lets you write configuration parameters from an .xml file to the VBrick
appliance. On a successful restore, all parameters will be saved to flash and the appliance will
reboot. Only administrator-level users and above have "write" privileges. Note that the
VBrick appliance that the configuration file is read from, and VBrick appliance that the
configuration file is written to should be running the same version of code. Mismatched
versions may work but are not supported or guaranteed.
T To restore the system configuration from an .xml file:
1. Click the
Browse
button and navigate to the configuration file you want to write to the
appliance.
2. Click on the
Restore
button to write the selected file to the VBrick appliance. If there are
no validation errors the configuration parameters will be saved to flash memory and the
appliance will reset.
3. If the configuration has validation errors, the file is rejected and the errors are displayed.
You will need to correct the errors and create a valid .xml "read" file as explained above.
Auto Configuration
Auto Configuration lets you perform a configuration via a URL script file. It is typically used
for remote configuration and troubleshooting or to configure appliances behind a firewall. To
configure a parameter on an appliance (or more likely a set of parameters) you simply point
the URL to a server with an .xml configuration file. This is useful, for example, to set the
audio and video rates when the VBrick appliance is behind a firewall and cannot be accessed
remotely.
