Configuration

The configuration system enables the configuration of your appliances. An appliance may be either a DPV (Data Protection Vault), DPU (Data Protection Unit), or a client of a DPU (a client is a server, PC, or notebook computer.) The appliance that is to be configured is selected through the hierarchical navigation panel which is the left-most panel of the RRC.

The configuration system screen is organized as a tiled list of configuration activity icons with a headline and summary text associated with each configuration activity. Selecting a configuration activity (by clicking on the icon or the text associated with the icon) causes the specific configuration subsystem to be entered. Thus, clicking on "Automatic Updates" (for example) will cause the automatic update configuration subsystem to be entered.

Once the user is finished with the configuration activity, the user may return to the original configuration screen or to any other functional area of the system via the main menu. Care should be taken that if the user wishes to change some aspect of a configuration subsystem, that the intended change must be committed via a "Confirm" selection in that subsystem. If the user selects either "Cancel" or a main menu item then the configuration activity is effectively abandoned and thus does not take place.

Configuration is differentiated from tools in that the primary activity within configuration is the initial management of a feature of an appliance rather than the on-going management and monitoring of some feature.

For more information concerning specific configuration activities, select a configuration activity and then use the right-click context menu to obtain specific help for that configuration activity.
