Auto(matic) Configuration

6-8 Configuration
Unless the console is shipped with a specific, customer-defined configura-
tion, the automatic configuration functions may be applied when powering
it up for the first time. Manually configuring all the different parameters can
be quite a time-consuming task, so Auto Configuration is the recommended
procedure in such a case.
Auto Configuration considers the currently installed I/O hardware, creates
logical inputs and outputs that are mapped to the physical input and output
modules, provides a common desk setup allowing the user to operate the
console, and specifies the GPIO functions. Thus the configuration effort is
reduced to a minimum. Of course, some manual fine tuning will be necessary
afterwards, such as editing the input/output labels displayed by the desk.
Auto Configuration may be activated by a user having access to configuration
(this usually is the system administrator only). Since SW V3.1, the three ...Init
buttons are located at the right-hand edge of the Configuration Tool instead
of on the Admin - Config page. Hence the Configuration Tool needs to be
started first by touching the Config Tool - Start button (see
When touching one of the ...Init buttons, a user warning pops up, saying 'You
are about to reconfigure the console. Do you really want to overwrite
your I/O / desk / GPIO configuration', as shown below.
After confirmation with Yes, the configuration process starts. It takes a few
seconds to be completed, depending on system size. Save the new configura-
tion by touching Save Config, or exit the Configuration Tool by touching
Exit.
Note: If one of the Auto Configuration functions has inadvertently been started,
the current console configuration will immediately be overwritten. However,
the previous configuration may be rescued by powering the console off and
on again, as long as the Save Config button was not used before.
It is strongly recommended to have a backup of the current configuration
files available on an external memory medium (see
SW V6.0
previous page).
