the middle pane by clicking the + button next
to the console name to drop down a list of the
setup files VMCC created.
Clicking on a filename displays the file con-
tents in the provision editor pane. Even though
files can be manually edited in the provision
editor pane, this should NOT be done on a nor-
mal basis as the edits will be overwritten the
next time the
Provision
button is clicked.
6 File Distribution
After double-checking the provisioned files,
the final step is to distribute the provisioned
files to the console. Clicking the
Distribute...
button opens a dialog box with the three dis-
tribution options: perform a normal console
download (where only changed files are re-
placed on the console); perform a force down-
load (where all console files are replaced by the
files provisioned by VMCC); or save the provi-
sioned files to the setup computer’s hard drive.
Click a radio button to select the distribution
method, then click the
Next
button. If Local
Download is selected, a save dialog box opens
to the My Documents folder. If necessary, change
folders, then click
Save
. When Normal or Force
Download was selected, VMCC opens a Device
Specific Distribution window, while checking
that it can communicate with the various com-
munity devices. This window also lists the ac-
tion that will be taken after the files are distrib-
uted. To send the files the device must be en-
abled (doubleclick on the Enable boxes to add
a check mark).
Click
Distribute
to download the provisioned
files to the enabled devices. If nqx.ini has
changed (as shown above for BMXd_3), the
console will be reset. If Force Download was
selected in the previous screen, then every de-
vice will “Reestablish Device Identity (RESET).”
When the publish files have changed, then an
initialize router will be performed (as shown
above on VMaxRack9 and RMXd_11). If the
edgedevice.ini file has changed the an initialize
RCED (Remote Control Edge Devices) will be
performed so that the edge devices will read
the updated information.
Now that a community has been created, add-
ing new community members is a matter of open-
ing up the community and, following steps 3 thru
6, add each new console or frame following the
recommendations and tips presented in the fol-
lowing sections. For additional information on
VMCC refer to Appendix A.
