Building and Uploading a GC File

Before a Global Configuration (GC) file is active in the GlobalViewer interface, the GC file must be “built” and “uploaded” to a GlobalViewer host device.

The “build” process compiles all of the configuration data you have entered into the GC file for each A/V network device.

The “upload” process delivers the built (compiled) file to the GlobalViewer host device.

After the GC file has been uploaded to a host device, you can launch the GlobalViewer interface by entering the host device’s IP address in the Address field of an Internet browser.

Step thirteen: build the Global Configurator file

There are two Build commands:

Build All Configurations — compiles configuration data for all devices in the GC file, including data for devices previously uploaded to a GlobalViewer host device.

Build Changed Configurations — compiles configuration data only for devices that have been added or changed since the previous build cycle.
