Installation
You can perform the same administrative configuration from the web administration interface that is available from the user interface. The web administration interface contains the following additional features not available from the user interface.
Using Advanced Directory Features
Advanced usage of the directory is available only from the web administration interface. On the Directory tab, the List All button retrieves the current directory data. You can import and export entries to and from the local directory using the Import and Export buttons; you can export entries from the corporate directory. Clear All deletes all entries in the local directory. Search enables you to locate a specific entry in the directory.
When importing and exporting directory entries from the web administration interface, use a text editor that supports UTF- 8 encoding to view or edit the data.
Saving and Restoring a System Configuration
You can save and restore a system configuration only from the web administration interface.
NOTE
System restore is not supported with the FireFox browser or other browsers based on Mozilla code.
The System Save feature creates a text file that contains command line interface commands to restore a saved configuration. The saved configuration includes all the preferences that can be set through the command line interface, except the command line interface password and the password for the default SNMP user. You can edit the file manually to customize the configuration. The System Restore feature restores a system configuration using the saved configuration file. For more information about editing commands in the configuration file and saving and restoring a system configuration using the command line interface, refer to LifeSize Passport Automation Command Line Interface.
NOTE
Configuration preferences and options vary across the system software releases. Restoring a system configuration using a file saved from a different model or software release may produce unexpected results. LG recommends that you restore a configuration that was saved from the same system or the same system model and software release.
To save a system configuration from the web administration interface, follow these steps:
1.In the web administration interface, navigate to Preferences : System : System Reset. If you wish to save system passwords in the file, select Save passwords. Passwords saved with this option are not encrypted.
2.Click System Save.
3.In the Download file dialog box, click Yes.
4.When prompted, choose a location in which to save the configuration file and then click Save.
To restore the system configuration from the web administration interface, follow these steps:
1.Ensure that a saved configuration file exists before performing a restore.
2.If you chose not to save passwords when you saved the configuration file, passwords appear in the file as tokens surrounded by ### characters and FIX: precedes the command in the configuration file, for example:
FIX: set admin password ###Password###
If you wish to replace these tokens with passwords before using the file to restore a system, delete FIX: and replace
###token### with the password. If you do not edit these lines, error 09 (invalid command) appears in the command output when you restore the system; the FIX: lines are ignored; and values previously set for the passwords remain unchanged.
