Configurations

All configurations that are done in IPBrick through the web interface are saved in a Postgres database. This way any changes done will only be effective in the system after Apply Configurations.

IPBrick allows the time tracking of all configurations because when you modify something in the web interface and Apply Configurations, a new configuration is locally saved. It is possible to store these configuration files in an USB pen and additionally send them to a configurable email address. In the configuration filename we have the date and the exact hour when a configuration was created. In short, this configuration management allows a fast disaster recovery, in case of hardware problems.

There is a configuration called default which is the IPBrick's base configuration immediately after install.

Clicking in Definitions there are the following fields that can be modified in the connection Modify:

• Email address: Email address (internal or external) were the configurations are delivered (by default backup.ipbrick@iportalmais.pt);
• Message Subject: By default backup.ipbrick@iportalmais.pt;
• Message body: By default is empty.

! Attention: After the IPBrick installation you must always insert a USB pen connected to server;
