Imagestore 750 Configurator
Managing Configurations
2 Restart the Imagestore 750, as instructed, for the configuration to be applied.
3 If you do not restart the Imagestore 750 and want to cancel the import selection, re-enter
‘User Presets > Import’ menu and select ‘Keep Current’.
During the restart, the last imported configuration (or the active configuration if there was no
import) is validated against the Imagestore 750’s capabilities and the resulting settings become
the new active configuration.
Note: If the same configuration file is imported to Imagestore 750s with different capabilities
files, then each Imagestore 750 will use its own capabilities file to validate all configuration
settings. Configuration settings that cannot be supported will be ignored. Configuration
settings that are not defined, but are supported, will assume the factory default settings.
Assuming that no further configuration files are imported (normally the case, after a system is
set up correctly), the ‘active configuration’ continues to apply on subsequent restarts. Please
note however that the ‘active configuration’ is subsequently modified on an ongoing basis by
changes to ‘persistent’ settings. (See
The ‘active configuration’ from any Imagestore 750 can be copied into the Imagestore 750
Configurator at any time so that edits can be made to ‘persistent’ settings and the restart
behavior of ‘state’ settings. The new configuration file can then be saved back to the Imagestore
750 and re-imported when required.
Note: The restart behavior of “state” settings cannot be changed without a restart of the
Imagestore 750.
The front panel’s ‘User Preset > Last Config’ menu option shows the name of the last configura-
tion file that was imported. This is really just a reminder on which configuration file the ‘active
configuration’ was originally based. This value persists between system restarts providing there
are no further imports.
Exporting a Capabilities File
The validity of any configuration file depends critically on the hardware capabilities of the
Imagestore 750 and the options that are currently installed. These are defined in a capabilities
file (
.caps
), which is always generated by a running Imagestore 750.
The capabilities file and ‘active configuration’ file are useful for fault diagnosis.
If you want a local copy of a capabilities file, use the Imagestore 750 Configurator to open the
‘active configuration’ from the target device, and then select ‘File > Export Capabilities File…’.
You will be prompted to enter a file name.
The capabilities file is also availadble from the Imagestore 750 web interface. (See
