Configuration Data Space (CDS)

This is the area, in non-volatile (flash) memory, which stores the configuration parameters.

CDS (Configuration Data Space)

Description

The Blue Heat/Net Sync has a number of configuration parameters which are stored in a non- volatile (flash memory) area. (See appendix for list of parameters).

The CDS area is stored redundantly in the flash memory along with a CRC-style checksum to ensure data integrity.

Access to CDS Parameters

The parameters stored in the CDS can be changed through the use of the following configuration tools:

SCM Serial Configuration Manager

WCM Web Configuration Manager

These three methods allow the user to change configuration parameters by the method that is most convenient. In some cases several methods will be employed during different stages of the setup of the Blue Heat/Net Sync. For example:

The SCM may be employed in the beginning when the unit is not connected to a network and various networking parameters need to be set up prior to connection to a network.

WCM may be employed after the unit is connected to a network, possibly to modify other settings related to serial ports, bootup settings or others.

More information about the operation of the SCM Command Reference and WCM (Web Configuration Manager) follows.

NOTE: When CDS parameters are changed via the

SCM or WCM some settings will not take effect until the

Blue Heat/Net Sync is rebooted.
