3 Configuration System Overview
All key configuration tasks can be carried out either from the
command line, using the gconfig tool, or vi the web interface, using
the “Configuration” → “All options” menu item. Both these methods
invoke the same underlying software and present identical navigation
and parameter options.
The web interface presents some additional options. Some of these are
merely short-cuts into the main configuration system while others
offer additional monitoring information. Configuration of attached
digitisers can be carried out using the web interface but not from the
CMG-EAM's command line (although access to the digitiser's
command line is available).
The command-line interface also supports a number of advanced
facilities which are not available via the main configuration system:
these are mostly diagnostic tools which are not required for normal
operation.
3.1 Using the configuration system via the web interface
The web interface to the configuration system is split into two frames.
The left-hand frame contains the system ID above a menu while the
right-hand frame displays sub-menus, input forms and display
screens. When a sub-menu has been used, the top of the right-hand
frame shows the menu options that have been selected in order to
reach the current screen. These options are hyper-linked and can be
used to return to previous screens.
