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 Twelve: 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.

To initiate a “Build (all)” process,

1. From the Build menu, select Build All Configurations...,

or click the Build All Configurations icon (shown at right).
