2.9 Preset editor

Most sat-nms device drivers allow you to save a snapshot of the device settings in device preset files so that the operator can restore these settings at a later time.

The presets are stored on the server that your client programme connects to. In an M&C environment this is the M&C server, in an NMS environment this is the central NMS server. This means that in the latter case, a preset can be saved when operating a VLC and can later be applied to a device on another VLC.

Presets are always assigned to the device type (driver) with which they were recorded. This is because it makes no sense to transfer the settings of a beacon receiver to a DVB encoder. The target device does not know what to do with the receiver settings. Even with similar devices (e.g. two IRDs from different manufacturers), there may be differences in the number and type of settings that the devices understand. The software therefore saves the preset files in a structure by device driver.
