Testing and accepting a conguration
ML Gateway keeps three independent versions of the conguration. Each conguration consists of the set of devices, connection settings, resources
and macros.
At all times, the active conguration is running. The user cannot modify this conguration directly, as it could disrupt the behaviour of the
installation.
Instead the user can change the ‘edit’ conguration from the user interface. All device settings, resources and macros modied by the user do not
become active, but only change this edited conguration.
The user can test if the modications being made work as expected by selecting the Test button in the web-based user interface. This will
momentarily stop the active conguration and run a copy of the edited conguration.
If everything runs as expected during the test, the conguration can be accepted by selecting the Save button. This way the conguration being
tested becomes the active conguration. Otherwise the Cancel button restarts the original active conguration.
Use the Discard button to delete all your edits and start over again with a new copy of Current active version.
During testing the monitor and system log screens are useful to see if the new modications are working as expected.
When accepting a conguration, the previously active conguration is not lost, but saved as the previous conguration. Use the Previous button
to return to this saved conguration (current active version and Backup/Previous version are swapped).
All three versions of the conguration can be downloaded from ML Gateway for reference, backup, or uploading to another ML Gateway unit.
Note that the edit conguration may not to be recovered in the latest version in case of a power failure. The active and previous congurations are
always stored in permanent memory. It is strongly recommended that you accept changes to the conguration after testing, so that these changes
are not lost.
