System Configuration

configure a parameter on an appliance (or more likely a set of parameters) you simply point the URL to a server with an .xml configuration file. This is useful, for example, to set the audio and video rates when the VBrick appliance is behind a firewall and cannot be accessed remotely.

The VBrick reads the URL field (e.g. www.myserver.com/config.xml) via HTTP protocol and executes the script depending on the VBEXECUTE tag. If a VBEXECUTEFORCE tag is present in the .xml file (see example below), the script runs every time at the poll interval even if it has not changed. If a VBEXECUTEIFDIF tag is present the script runs only if it is different from the last executed file. One of these tags is required.

If the VBrick is in Edit mode, the script file will not run until the edit session is ended. The auto config script will run before any external event scripts. In Edit mode, you can press Run Script to execute the script on demand. After a reboot, the VBrick checks for a script URL and will run the script immediately, regardless of the VBEXECUTE tag value.

URL

Valid path to a URL script file, for example: www.myserver.com/

 

config.xml. Default = blank.

 

 

Poll Rate

The rate at which the appliance checks the config file. 0–1440

 

minutes. Default = 0.

 

 

Auto Config Status

Shows auto config status including when the script was last run, URL

 

connection errors, etc.

 

 

Run Script

Edit mode only. Run the script now.

 

 

Sample Script

The auto config script file (config.xml) is an .xml file with the following syntax. It can set any VBrick parameters and force an "apply" as needed. This example shows how to set various recorder parameters. Note that a VBEXECUTE tag is required and all commands must be preceded by an svar (set variable) command.

<?xml version="1.0"?> <?VBEXECUTEFORCE?> <VBRICK>

SVAR vbrickEncoderVideoCommonAspectRatio.1.1=2 SVAR vbrickEncoderVideoH264Resolution.1.1=15

SVAR vbrickEncoderVideoH264TargetBitRate.1.1=5000000 SVAR vbrickEncoderVideoCommonApplySet.1=2

</VBRICK>

Note The script file must have DOS/Windows style line endings. Text files created on Windows machines have different line endings than those created on Unix or Linux machines. Windows machines use a carriage return and line feed (\r\n) whereas Unix machines use line feed (\n) only.
