You can alternately edit all of the configuration files using a spreadsheet program or text editor.
All the files are in .csv format and their locations are described below. Changes made will be
automatically updated on the web interface when they are saved.
Configuration Files
The HDX routers use .csv formatted spreadsheet files as configuration files. Every configuration
file used to setup the web interface has the extension “.csv” for “comma separated values” and
can be viewed, modified, and saved using most modern spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel,
OpenOffice Calc, GNUmeric, etc.).
The three (3) most important configuration files are found in X44/setup/ and are named:
groups.csv, router.csv, and stations.csv .
Linux:
When running in Linux, these files will be found in:
/opt/lsi/hdxrouter/intuicon/X44/setup/
Windows7:
If during installation you selected to make it available to all users, then the configuration files will
be found in:
\ProgramData\LSI\X44\setup\
(*Note: The “ProgramData” directory is hidden by default. It can be made visible in:
Control Panel > Folder Options > View)
If installed for just one user, the files are in:
\Users\<user’s name>\AppData\Roaming\LSI\X44\setup
WindowsXP:
If the installation was performed for all users, the configuration files will be found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LSI\X44\setup
If installed for one user:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user’s name>\Application Data\LSI\X44\setup
STATIONS
Stations are user defined source or destination signals that should be treated as a single object.
A source station may be a single video source, a video source with a control return signal, or
even multiple video signals that should always be switched together.
Some stations may need to be protected from accidental (or malicious) connections and
disconnections by unauthorized users. To facilitate this, each station has one or more fields
used to specify which "groups" (collections of users) can see and control that station.
A station needs: a name, one or more ports within a router chassis, and, if access is to be
restricted, some way to determine who has access to the station ("Viewable”).
