6.3 Customer-Specific Settings via XML File
This section describes how to configure the system and network settings using an XML file, custom.xml. To enable the
settings, the SC-COM must be reset to the default settings.
The settings using the XML file are optional. Most settings can also be configured via the user interface.
6.3.1 Uploading the custom.xml File
If you upload the custom.xml file to the user interface, the SC-COM checks the file to ensure that the values entered are
valid, and copies the settings when the SC-COM is next reset. All settings and parameters which cannot be set using the
XML file are reset to their default settings.
Procedure:
1. Create the custom.xml file with the required settings (see Section 10.2 "XML File custom.xml", page 40).
2. Log into the user interface as an installer.
3. Select Sunny Central > Settings > System.
4. Select [Browse] in the Upload settings (custom.xml) field.
5. To select the custom.xml file in the open dialog box, double-click on it.
6. Select [Upload].
☑ The SC-COM checks the file for validity and displays "Do you really want to apply the customer-specific settings?"
✖ The SC-COM checks the file for validity and displays "The settings have not been activated because the file has
an invalid format or invalid entries."
• Click on the icon .
• Read off the error in the open dialog box and correct the custom.xml file.
• Ensure that the custom.xml file is valid and correct.
7. Select [Confirm].
☑ The SC-COM displays "The settings have been saved successfully. The settings will become effective by carrying
out a reset to default settings."
8. To enable the settings in the custom.xml file, reset the SC-COM to the default settings (see Section 6.1 "Configuring
Security Settings", page 21).
6.3.2 Downloading the XML File custom.xml
The file custom.xml that you uploaded can also be downloaded.
Procedure:
1. Log into the user interface as an installer.
2. Select Sunny Central > Settings > System.
3. Click on the custom.xml link in the Upload settings (custom.xml) field.
4. Choose a storage location for the file and save it.
Correct network settings
While uploading, the SC-COM checks the XML file custom.xml for validity of the entered values. It is not checked
whether the settings for the network are correct.
• Ensure that the custom.xml file contains the correct network settings.
