Reporting configuration differences
The device allows you to trigger the following events when the
configuration stored on the ACA does not match the configuration on the
device:
send an alarm (trap) (see on page 213 “Configuring Traps”),
update the device status (see on page 216 “Configuring the Device
Status”),
update the status of the signal contacts (see on page 219 “Controlling
the Signal Contact”).
3.1.5 Using the offline configurator
The offline configurator allows you to create configurations for devices in
advance. You create the configuration virtually on your PC and load it onto
your device in a 2nd step.
In this way you can prepare and manage the device configuration efficiently,
thus saving time and effort both when creating the configuration and loading
it to the devices.
For more details on using the offline configurator, see the chapter “Loading
a configuration from the offline configurator” in the “GUI Reference Manual”
(Graphical User Interface / Web-based Interface) document.
Example of using the offline configurator
An IT employee already creates the configuration files for the devices of
a production cell during the planning phase. In doing so, he uses existing
configuration files for a similar production cell and modifies these.
He makes the offline configuration files available to the field service
employee, who mounts the devices on site and then loads the
configuration to the devices. All that is required for this is for the devices
to be reachable and have received an IP address, e.g. via HiDiscovery.
