Chapter 6. Administration of the Telecommuting Module

Save/Load Configuration

Here, you work with the preliminary and permanent configurations, save them and load new configurations from previously saved configurations.

Test Preliminary Configuration

When Apply configuration is pressed, the Telecommuting Module will test the configuration before you make it permanent.

During test, the Telecommuting Module waits for you to press one of the three buttons displayed. If you never see the three buttons, something in your preliminary configuration (now tested) is wrong, which makes it impossible for you to access the configuration web interface.

Duration of limited test mode

Here, you enter the time limit for the testing. If you do not press any button within this time, the Telecommuting Module will assume that some part of your preliminary configuration makes connecting impossible. When the timeout is reached, the Telecommuting Module automatically reverts to the old permanent configuration. If this occurs, you will be informed when trying to press a button.

Apply configuration

Saves the preliminary configuration to the permanent configuration and puts it into use. You can test your preliminary configuration before finalizing it.

Three buttons are displayed during the test:

Save configuration saves your preliminary configuration to the permanent configuration and puts it into use.

Continue testing shows a new page with only the other two buttons.

Revert cancels this test of the preliminary configuration without saving.

If you do not press any button within the time limit, the Telecommuting Module will revert to the old permanent configuration, just as if you had pressed Revert. This is useful if you happen to configure your Telecommuting Module so it isn’t accessible from your browser.

After the timeout, pressing either of the three buttons will show a new page which will inform you that the test run was aborted.

Restarting the Telecommuting Module by cycling the power also cancels the test.

Backup

All configurations can be saved to and loaded from diskette or file. This does not affect the permanent configuration.
