3.3. Configuration Methods
The configuration objects are created and manipulated by the user via one of two configuration methods :
- web-based graphical User Interface accessed using a standard web-browser (uses javascript).
- an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) file representing the entire object hierarchy, editable via the web interface or can be uploaded to the FB2500
The two methods operate on the same underlying object model, and so it is possible to readily move between the two methods - changes made via the
User Interface will be visible as changes to the XML, and vice-versa.
Which method you use is entirely up to you, and some users prefer one or the other, or may make some changes in one of the other.
Some operations, such as changing the order of a list of objects, is easier in the XML editor, for example.
The web based editor means you do not have to find/remember the attribute names as they are all presented to you.
For more information on using XML, refer to Section 3.8.
