Build Changed Configurations

Before a Global Configuration (GC) file is active in the GlobalViewer� interface, the GC file must be "built" and "uploaded" to a GlobalViewer® Host device on the audio/visual (A/V) network.

The "build" process compiles all of the configuration data (port assignments, device locations, schedules, etc.) you have entered into the GC file for each device on the A/V network.

The "upload" process delivers the built (compiled) file to the GlobalViewer® Host device.

After the compiled GC file has been uploaded to a host device, you can launch the GlobalViewer® interface by entering the host device's IP address in the address field of an Internet browser.

Build Changed Configurations...

The Build Changed Configurations... option compiles  configuration data only for devices that have been added or changed since the previous Build  cycle.

Devices that have been added or changed since the previous Build  cycle are identified by a red border around their icon in the IP Link Tree window.

To initiate a 'Build (changed)" process:

  1. Click Build > Build Changed Configurations...
