41 Sensor+ CEM+ Configuration Manual

File Transfers

The configuration files that are shared from CEM+ to CEM+ in a group are XML files that

are sent and received via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). They are then parsed at each CEM+

for use locally within that CEM+ depending on the rack number (the CEM+ knows what rack

number it is and looks to that part of the configuration to get it’s settings).

There are four (4) separate files that make up the user-defined configuration.

• Sensor.rak - Contains all of the rack configurations and dimmer information including

the patch.

• Preset.pre - Contains the preset information for the group.

• Arch.rm - Contains the room/dimmer assignments for the group.

• Panic.pan - Contains the settings for Panic within the group.

Understanding these few pieces of information first makes the rest of this section easier to

use and understand.

Download (config from selected IP)

This function will make the local CEM+ (the one you are logged into) get the group

configuration (all of the racks configurations in one) from the specified device and IP

address in the pull-down menu. The configuration will go from the specified device to only

the one device asking for the configuration.

This is useful to get an existing configuration into a new or replacement CEM+.

Backup (to all)

This function will send the local CEM+’s group configuration to all other devices (CEM+s

and FTP if one is configured) in the group as set in the network table.

This is useful to send a newly uploaded/modified configuration to the other CEM+s in the

group.
