5.9.3 Loading Configuration Files
Admin Menu > Load allows uploading a previously saved configuration file from a
local computer to your camera. Click on Select Upload File to select the desired
file, then click on Upload.
The configuration file consists of several sections that can be uploaded individually.
When uploading, you can either replace the entire configuration (
Replace the cur-
rent configuration completely)
or leave parts of the current configuration untouched
(
Everything except the parts checked below
). Using this procedure would allow you
to load the image and event settings while keeping the current network settings,
for example.
You can prevent the following sections from being replaced:
• Security (users/passwords): Contains the passwords for the users of all
groups admins, users, guests
, ...
) as well as the group definitions.
• Networking: Contains all network and ISDN parameters.
• Transfer Profiles: Contains all e-mail and FTP profiles.
• File Server: Contains the settings for saving image/video data in an external
ring buffer.
• Time Tasks: Contains the settings for time tasks.
• Logos: Contains the settings for displaying logos in the camera images.
• Audio (settings, call profiles): Contains the audio and telephone profiles
and settings.
• Page (language, softbuttons, MultiView): Contains the settings for lan-
guage, softbutton and MultiView configurations.
• Image Control: Contains the settings for image control.
• Event Control: Contains the settings for the entire event control (events,
actions, messages, recordings).
• Camera (time server, LEDs): Contains the camera settings (time, date, LED
configuration).
• Serial Interface (modem, data): Contains the RS232 interface settings.
Caution

::
If you have not protected the Networking section before merging the
configuration, the camera will use the network configuration of the loaded file,
which may have a different IP address. In this case, you will not be able to access
the camera using its current IP address. To prevent this from happening, you
should protect the Networking section.
If you have not protected the Security (users/passwords) section before merging
the configuration, the MOBOTIX camera to which the configuration file is uploaded
will be assigned the same user names and passwords as the MOBOTIX camera
from which the configuration file has originated. Passwords are saved encrypted in
the configuration file, so you need to make extra sure that you know the pass-
words. In case you do not have the administrator password, the administration
area of the MOBOTIX camera will remain inaccessible. To prevent this from hap-
pening, you should also protect the Security (users, passwords) section.
