Maintenance Mode; Configuration Changes That Require Restart; Restarting The Server - FLIR Nexus Configuration Manual

3 Advanced Configuration
3.3
When Maintenance is selected at the top of the page, the configuration changes that are allowed are
grouped according to the primary buttons on the left: Server, Sensor, and Files. In the previous
chapter, the Server settings (LAN Settings, Services, and Security Options) were described. The
following paragraphs describe additional Sensor configuration options available under the
Maintenance mode that are used in some installations. For the configuration changes in the
remainder of this chapter, it is necessary to save the changes, then stop and restart the server to
make the changes effective.
3.3.1
The following paragraphs describe additional camera configuration options that are used in some
installations. For the configuration changes in the remainder of this chapter, it is necessary to save the
changes, then stop and restart the server to make the changes effective. Many additional
configuration options are available that are not described in this manual. It is recommended you
contact FLIR Technical Support if you need information about additional configuration options that are
not described in this manual.
When configuration changes are made with the web browser, the settings are saved to a configuration
file. It is a good idea to make a backup of the existing configuration file prior to making changes, and
another backup once the changes are finalized. If necessary the camera can be restored to its original
factory configuration or one of the saved configurations. For more information, refer to section 3.9
"Configuration File" on page 3-17.
After making configuration changes, it is necessary to save the changes to the server (there is a Save
button at the bottom of each configuration page). Once you save configuration changes to the server,
the changes do not take effect immediately. Generally it is also necessary to stop and restart the
server for the changes to become effective. The server has a configuration that is active and running,
and another configuration that is saved (and possibly different than the running configuration).
The message at the bottom of the page indicates the
saved configuration is different than the active
(running) configuration, and it is necessary to restart
the server.
3.4
Once the server is stopped, an information message will pop up on the screen.

Configuration Changes That Require Restart

Restarting the Server

After changes have been saved, click on the green light at the lower left
next to "Server Running" to stop the server.
It may take up to 20 seconds or more to stop the server, especially when
there are multiple video streams open. Be patient when stopping the
server.
