Managing Configurations – Offline
The MP Manage app supports offline operation allowing most aspects of MP-M setup to be performed on a tablet or computer without being
connected to an MP-M. This includes the creation of configurations.
When the app is offline, it uses the configuration that was last opened in offline mode. When the app connects to an MP-M, the MP-M online
configuration takes over. To restore the offline configuration, click the Connection button on the lower right corner of the screen and select None
(offline). The last offline configuration to be recalled will be loaded. Even so, it’s good practice to save any offline or online configuration before
changing mode.
Configurations include a password whether they are created online or offline. For this reason it may be necessary to enter a password when
switching between an online and an offline configuration.
Configuration Files and Windows
• Having full file system access with the Windows version of MP Install offers the user more file management control to accommodate more varied
workflows.
• Therefore, the Windows handling of Configurations differs slightly from the tablet versions of MP Install.
• By default, MP Install will store Configuration files in the current user’s Documents directory. The default storage location for MP Install v1.0 was
C:1\ProgramData\QSC\MP-M\. For v1.1 and later, the default location is:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\QSC\MP-M\
Which, for example, may equate to an absolute path of C:\Users\my.name\Documents\QSC\MP-M\
