Saving Configuration Changes; Restarting The Server - FLIR F-Series Installation Manual

3—F-Series Camera Configuration
3.2.2

Saving Configuration Changes

After making any 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 in effect and running, and another configuration that is saved (and
possibly different than the running configuration). The following message indicates the saved
configuration is different than the configuration in effect (the running configuration): "You must
restart the server for the changes to be effective".
3.2.3

Restarting the Server

To restart the server, first click on the Stop button at the top of the page, and wait for the page
to refresh. When the server is stopped and the page is refreshed, the status will show as
"Server Stopped" and the button at the top of the page will change to Start rather than Stop.
Click on the Start button to restart the server, and when the page refreshes, the status will
again show as "Server Running...". The Start button will be replaced by a Stop button when the
startup procedure has completed.
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. If necessary the camera can be restored to its original factory configuration
also. For more information, refer to section 3.3.8 "Configuration File" on page 3-10.
