Configuration through the Java applet interface
127
Saving, canceling, and refreshing configuration settings
The configuration screens in the Java applet interface contain several buttons: Save, Cancel, and
Refresh.
Save: Saves changed values to the Digi device.
Cancel: Resets only those changes that have been made prior to clicking Save to the
initial values on the particular page. For example, Cancel would be useful in the
following sequence:
1 Click on the Network choice, and on the Network page, DHCP is currently
selected.
2 Instead, select the option to manually assign a static IP.
3 Next, enter an IP address and Subnet Mask.
4 Values for those settings are not desired. Click Cancel.
5 The Network configuration pages are returned to their initial settings, in which
DHCP was selected.
Refresh: Because the Java applet runs remotely, it is not always aware when device
settings have been changed by other users. It is sometimes necessary to refresh the
applet to retrieve those settings. When the Java applet interface is launched, all device
settings are updated and stored in memory. These are the settings that are shown when
opening a page of configuration settings or clicking Cancel. Refresh updates all the
stored settings with the settings from the DDigi device (that is, if someone else had
made a change while you were navigating through the applet).
Restoring settings
There is no way in the Applet or web UI to restore a certain group of settings to factory defaults.
Once settings are saved, they reside in the device. To restore the device to its true default settings,
reset the device to factory defaults. See "Restore a device configuration to factory defaults" on
page 155.
