Instead, what the user can change from the user interface is another configuration called the edit configuration.

So, all device settings, resources and macros modified by the user do not become active, but only change this edit

configuration.

The user can test if the modifications being made work as expected by selecting the "Test" button on the

configuration toolbar. This will momentarily stop the active configuration and run a copy of the edit configuration.

If everything runs as expected during the test, then the configuration can be accepted by selecting the "Save"

button. This way, the configuration being tested becomes the active configuration. Otherwise, the "Cancel" button

will restart the original active configuration.

During testing, the monitor and system log screens can be useful for checking if the new modifications are working

as expected.

The "Discard" button stops any testing, and reverts all changes to the edit configuration, making it equal to the

active configuration.

When accepting a configuration, the previously active configuration is not lost, but saved as the previous

configuration. Use the "Previous" button to return to this saved configuration.

All 3 versions of the configuration can be downloaded from MLGW for reference, backup, or uploading to another

MLGW unit.

Note that the edit configuration is not guaranteed to be recovered in it's latest version in case of a power failure. The

active and previous configurations are always stored on permanent memory. It is strongly recommended that you

accept changes to the configuration after testing, so that these changes are not lost.

Defining Sources

[ Programming | Sources ]

Note: This section is only relevant for supporting mobile applications, and has no effect on macro programming.

This screen allows to define sources for each BeoLink product. This information will be used by mobile applications to

generate a user interface where each product contains the relevant sources.

If BeoLink resources have been uploaded from a Beo5/Beo6 project file, then this screen should automatically contain

most of the necessary information (with a default UI type field according to the source).

Sources in NetworkLink products discovered by MLGW should also appear automatically.

The list of sources can be customized for each product. The information to provide for each source is the following:

Source: This is the actual Beo4 command for selecting the source. The combination of values for common

sources is given in the table below.

Name: This is an optional label to show with the source. Try to use a short label (no more than 5 or 6

characters) so that it can fit on less space on the user interface. The recommendation is to leave this field empty

unless you need a specific description for this source (e.g. name of a set-top box or DTV service).

Dst: This is equivalent to the A/V button on Beo4, or the Destination field for BeoLink commands in macros.

This field should be filled in automatically depending on the source; you can also select AUTO in order to

retrieve the default setting for that source type. You can modify this setting if needed, such as selection of

1 2 ... 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ... 50 51
