Configuration Section

The Configuration section contains links to manage the configuration file (how the Redwood

Manager stores settings). The two most important links on this section are the Download

Configuration and Restore Configuration.

The Download Configuration link copies the configuration file to your local computer. It is

recommended that you save this configuration file before making large changes to the

commissioning so that you can then restore in the event that it is needed.

Restoration of the configuration is done with the Restore Configuration link. There are four

links pertaining to Adapter/Fixture configurations. These should only be used as directed by

Redwood Support as they modify how an Adapter/Gateway is programmed and, if used

incorrectly, can result in Fixtures that do not discover correctly.

Statistics Section

Internally, the statistics gathered by the Sensors are stored in a compact file format. It is via

the Download Statistics link that you can retrieve the statistics for each Engine. It is not

recommended that users use this method without Redwood Support.

Actions Section

There are two links that permit you to restart or reboot the Engine. These links perform the

same function as the restart and reboot function from the Manager Configuration menu.

Logs

The top two links display approximately the final 500 lines of

the syslog file and the volcano log file.

Syslog is a file containing the network and Linux-based

messages.

Volcano.log is the console log that contains errors and

warnings created by the Redwood Manager software. It isn't

expected that you need to look at these files, but they are

useful for Redwood Support Team members.

Other

Most of the links in this section are Linux commands that a

Redwood Support Team member might use to quickly

determine the activity of an Engine.

The final link in this section, Download Support Data, is VERY important though. It is a link

that executes a set of statistic and log file gathering tools to generate a single zipped file that

is downloaded to your local computer. Redwood Support uses this file as a way to determine

what has happened on the Engine
