System Configuration Page Menus

The System Configuration (System) page provides menus to access to administrative functions including network settings, software maintenance, backups, logs, and user management.

The System Configuration page can be accessed via the web UI, or directly by browsing to the Omnia XII IP address on port 8085.

From the System Configuration page menus, you can:

View system information (software version, system status)
Back up system settings and software
Load or change software banks
Configure network and IP-based routing settings
Manage system logs
Change the login password
Access Telos Alliance support link
Configure system time information
Update software
Log out.

LOGOUT: Each System Configuration page includes this control to log out of the current connection to the Omnia XII.

After you log in, the System Configuration (System) page opens. This is the default page for the System Configuration menus.

This screen is primarily informational and has two sections:

Version Information: This shows which firmware bank is currently active and the version of software running in that bank. Version information includes the software build (Version), OS Version and BIOS Version.
System Status: This shows the current Uptime (elapsed time since the system booted in days, hours, and minutes), graphs representing the current CPU usage and RAM usage. The Disk Space section includes Omnia XII disk information: Partition Size (in MB), Available Space (available space, in MB), and Percent Used (the percentage of the full disk in use). The graphs are updated automatically every two seconds.

The Backup/Restore page presents a list of all backups in the system. If this is the first time using this page, there may not be any backups present in the system.

Columns provide the System Backup file name, Size, and Backup Date/Time for each backup. Each backup row includes a Restore control and minus (-) sign.

Restore: Each backup includes a Restore control. When clicked, the system requests confirmation that you really wish to restore the system using that backup.

Important! The restore function typically happens quickly, but keep in mind that the system will not be operational during the restore and reboot process.

Minus (-) Sign: Each backup includes a minus sign, which lets you remove the backup to the left of the symbol. When clicked, you are given the option to click OK to delete the file or Cancel to cancel the operation.

Plus (+) Sign: This single control, located below the minus sign for the last backup file, opens the Create Backup dialog. Here, you can create or upload a backup. When creating a backup, you can select whether you want logs and/or the IP address included in the backup, When uploading a backup, you can choose a file on your local system.

Uploading is of value when you want to restore your configuration to a new system, a factory-default system, or a system that has had the desired backup removed from the system.

The Bank Control page displays software versions in both banks of Omnia XII and is used to select the active software bank.

Bank: This button selects which bank will be used on the next reboot. It also displays the currently selected bank as the next bank that will be active at reboot.

Reboot: This button appears after changing the bank that will be used on the next reboot. Clicking Reboot will reboot into the selected bank.

Bank 0 and Bank 1: These information tables display the software version in each bank. The currently active bank is identified by an asterisk next to the bank number.

The Configuration menu provides controls for system reboot, factory reset, and network settings.

System Section

Reboot: Reboots the Omnia XII. When clicked, a confirmation message indicating that audio will be interrupted for approximately 45 seconds. Click OK to reboot the system or Cancel to cancel the operation.

Factory Default: Resets the Omnia XII to its factory defaults. When clicked, a confirmation message warns that all settings and files, including the IP address, will be deleted. Click OK to continue or Cancel to cancel the operation.

Important! Network interface changes do not take effect until the Omnia XII is rebooted. After making network changes, the pending changes are displayed in parenthesis and a Reboot button becomes available.

DNS Servers: Displays the DNS server addresses configured for NET 1, NET 2, and NET 3. By default, the DNS server address is set to 8.8.8.8. If necessary, you can change the DNS server address.

Click the Configure button to the right of the DNS server addresses to access the Dns Entries dialog. This dialog includes:

<< and >>: Change the order of the DNS servers in the list. Omnia XII attempts to connect to the server at the top of the list first. If that connection cannot be made, it attempts the next server in the list.
Add: Adds a server to the list.
Remove: Removes the selected DNS server from the list.
OK: Saves any changes and closes the Dns Entries dialog.
Cancel: Discards the changes and closes the Dns Entries dialog.

Important! DNS changes do not require a reboot to become active.

The Logs page provides access to various system logs that Telos Alliance may request for troubleshooting.

Show # entries: This drop-down menu lets you select the maximum number of logs displayed at one time. Choices include 10, 25, 50, and 100. The default is 10. If there are multiple pages, they are indicated below the listing and page navigation buttons can be used to navigate through the logs.

Columns: The columns display the log Filename, Last Updated date and time, File Size in kB and a Delete/Clear control. Each column title includes up/down arrows that let you sort the list by that column, such as displaying filenames alphabetically or sorting the Last Updated.

Filename: Click a log filename to open a read-only version of the log in your browser. Alternatively, right-click the filename to download the file or copy a link to the file.

First. Previous, 1, Next, and Last: These controls let you navigate through logs when they span multiple pages (based on the Show # entries setting).

This menu lets you change the password used to access the Omnia XII web UI.

Password: Enter the new password.

Confirm: Enter the new password again to confirm it.

Save: Saves the new password.

The Support Link menu is a tool for Telos Alliance to remotely access your unit. Clicking the menu button immediately sends your Omnia XII link information to Telos Alliance.

This menu does not access a menu page, as there are no user controls or options.It does not access a menu page.

Warning! Support Link is a remote access tool. Telos Alliance only recommends activating Support Link when Telos Alliance request it to be open. It is best practice to keep Support Link disabled unless explicitly asked by Telos Alliance to enable Support Link.

Time Menu

The Time configuration page lets you set the time zone, define NTP servers, and, if NTP is unavailable, set system time from your local PC. Setting the time is important as it is used for system logs.

Unit ISO Time:

Current Timezone: This drop-down menu provides an expansive list of possible timezones, so that you can set the Omnia XII clock to your timezone. If Omnia XII has internet access, the Unit ISO Time and Unit Local Time will update. Note that a reboot may be necessary. If the time does not update Omnia XII does not have access to reach the NTP servers.

Ntp servers: This box lets you manage the list of servers in your system.

Add: This button lets you add an NTP server that Omnia XII has access to.
<< and >>: These arrow buttons let you set the order of NTP servers that Omnia XII will attempt to make a connection. By default, the first server (the server at the top of the list) is tried first. If a connection cannot be made, Omnia XII will try the next server in the list. To change the order of a server in the list, click the server and use the arrow buttons to move the server through the list of servers.
Remove: After selecting a server in the Ntp servers list, you can click Remove to delete the server from the list.

Set time from PC: When Omnia XII cannot connect to an NTP server, time can be set from the PC used to access Omnia XII. After click this button, Omnia XII will use the PC’s time for 1 time clock adjustment. After this adjustment is made, Omnia XII keeps time locally.

Upload Update Menu

File Upload: Use this control to upload a new version of Omnia XII via your browser. After choosing the file in your browser, you can click Begin to start the upload operation or Change to choose a different version. Clicking another System Configuration menu will clear the browser.

Once the file completes uploading, you can load it into the Omnia XII using the Bank Control menu.
