Read System Configuration

This function lets you read configuration parameters from the VBrick appliance to a file, as
well as write configuration parameters from a file to the VBrick. The file is an .xml file and
Internet Explorer is the assumed browser. Note that the VBrick appliance the .xml file is read
from, and VBrick appliance the .xml file is written to, should be running the same version of
code. Mismatched versions may work but are not supported or guaranteed.

Use any text editor, preferably an .xml editor to make changes to the file. You can change the
"values" field as well as delete objects as necessary. Make sure the right data types are used.
For example if a parameter takes integer values, do not enter a string. Also IP Address
parameters must have the right IP syntax. Enter "0.0.0.0" to enter a null IP address. Blanks
and null strings are not valid IP Addresses.

You can read the configuration parameters from the VBrick by clicking the

Read

button on

the page. After clicking on the button, an xml document with all the configuration
parameters will pop up (see Figure 4). The .xml document can then be saved to your PC as an
.xml file using

File > Save As

. To view this file offline, you must

download

the style sheet to

the same directory as the saved file. Do not change the name of the style sheet. It should
always be saved as

cfgdata.xsl

and the first line at the top of the configuration file must

always be:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="cfgdata.xsl"?>

Factory Defaults

Sets all parameters to factory defaults with the exception of System
Date and Time.

Note .xml configuration files from VB6000 Series appliances are not compatible with

VBrick 7000 Series models. Do not try to run VB6000 Series configuration files on
VBrick 7000 Series appliances.

Note Firefox users: To view or save the configuration file, click Read. Then go to File >

Save Page As and save the file as Web Page, XML only. Then download the stylesheet
to the same folder and you can view the configuration file using the stylesheet.
