Saving and Restoring Settings

DSNet allows you to save the Broadcaster settings to a single .tgz file for more portability and usability. You can also restore the settings from a file or to come back to factory default settings.

It is wise to backup your configuration after any change. It can also be used to set up several Broadcasters with same or similar configuration.

Saving the Current Settings to a File

In main menu, click File/Save Settings to File, the broadcaster will start to gather all settings. Wait until the file name is available signaling that the Broadcaster has transmitted all settings to DSNet Manager. Click Browse and choose the location for saving your configuration file (*.tgz), then click OK. The format of the configuration file name is dsconfig-yyyy-mm-dd.tgz, with a timestamp in it.

Restoring the Settings from a File

In main menu, click File/Restore Settings from File, then hit the Browse button to browse to the location of the update file (dsconfig-yyyy-mm-dd.tgz). Select the file and click Open. The Broadcaster server program restarts with new settings, which closes all management connections.

Restoring the Factory Default Settings

In mainmenu, click File/Restore Factory Settings and confirm. Please note that your current settings will be lost.
