The Configuration Manager is the primary configuration tool for a K2 Summit
Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server. It makes settings that apply to the overall
internal storage K2 system as well as settings that apply to individual channels.

Configuration Manager settings are stored in a database. When the K2 system starts
up it reads the current settings from the database and configures itself accordingly.
When you modify a setting in Configuration Manager you must save the setting in
order to update the database and reconfigure the K2 Summit Production Client or K2
Solo Media Server.

You can also save settings out of Configuration Manager into a configuration file,
which is a stand-alone XML file. Likewise, you can load settings into Configuration
Manager from a configuration file. However, you must use Configuration Manager as
the means to save the settings to the database before the settings actually take effect.
Configuration files are not linked directly to the database.

You can use configuration files as a means to back up your settings. You can also use
configuration files to save several different groups of customized settings, each with
a unique name, so that you can quickly load settings for specialized applications.

For Configuration Manager procedures, refer to the K2 AppCenter User Manual.
