5.3.3 Generating configuration files
In order to generate the configuration files the entire Display Wall and its control system has to be created as a
Visio plan based on the Control Room Configuration template.
Correct configuration files can be created only if all utilized hardware and software components
are included in the configuration plan!
Make sure individual devices are properly connected!
Use the Device Group template to create a hierarchical device structure.
Use Device Group as well to assign a freely selectable name to the Display Wall (of the Apollo project).
The system automatically assigns the names of the devices and their logical addresses.
Click with the right mouse button on the Visio page and select Export from the context menu to create the con-
figuration files.
5.3.4 Copying Configuration Files
When exporting, the sub directories containing the necessary configuration files are added to the folder where
the Visio plan is saved
Configuration files for the control computer of the Display Wall are located at
…\FileName_Name of Control Computer
Configuration files for the operator workstations are located at
…\FileName_Name of Operator Workstation
In case of a redundant Apollo System, the configuration files for the master are located at
…\FileName_Name of Master
The configuration files for the slave are located at
…\FileName_Name of Slave
Copy the respective files to the Apollo Project directory of the corresponding workstation.
Apollo features a security provider to assign specific permissions to different access user
groups. The security provider gets his information from the file AccessGroups.ini which
has to be located in a subfolder ServerData in the ApolloProject folder.
The subfolder ServerData and a sample AccessGroups.ini file is created by quitting the
Settings Dialog with OK. Then the AccessGroups.ini file can be edited and customized.
The modifications will be valid after an additional launching of the Apollo Settings. For
more information on the AccessGroups.ini file, please see Defining accessGroups
In case your system comes with an already configured Apollo project, when copying the
viso configuration folders, DO NOT copy the file apollo.lic: the license file located in the
folders created by Viso is a demo license file which then would overwrite your project
license file.
• Copy remotecontrol.ini to the serverdata subfolder
• Copy barcorc.ini to the rcagent installation folder
• Copy OCM configuration xml files to the OCM installation folder
