40.4.3 Off-line configuration

It is possible to carry out the configuration of the Praesideo system off-line or edit the existing configuration off-line using the configuration PC:

1Go to Start > (All) Programs > Bosch > Praesideo > FT Application to start the Praesideo File Transfer application.

2Click the Offline Config button. A window appears in which the configuration file that will be used for the offline configuration, can be chosen. It is also possible to create a new, empty configuration file. The default subdirectory is <data directory>\Bosch\Praesideo <release>\Programs\FT Application, the default filename is Praesideo.cfg. The location of the <data directory> depends on the operating system. In an English Windows XP, it is in Documents and settings\<user>\My documents\ and in an English Windows Vista or Windows 7, it is in Users\<user>\Documents\.

After clicking the OK button, a screen similar to the one in figure 40.1 appears. Logging on to the off-line version of the web interface is similar to logging on to the ‘real’ web interface.
