Note:

Items covered in this section are informative only and do not explain how to setup individual BC-02 solutions. Many configurations of hardware and software are possible and unique to each deployment. Contact [email protected] for assistance.

Unit Template

This dropdown list refers to a configuration that can be reused and assigned to any/all BC-02 units registered to Getac Enterprise. This is covered in Unit Configuration Templates.

If creating a custom configuration unique to this one Unit, select * Custom Config from the dropdown bar, then proceed to make changes. See image below for an example:

Warning:

If a Unit Configuration Template is currently assigned to a Unit, changes made on any sub-pages other than General will apply to ALL Units with that template assigned upon clicking save. If making an individual change to a specific Unit with a currently assigned template, it is HIGHLY recommended to select either custom config as mentioned above or to click on Save As to create and apply a new template to the selected device.

Save/Save As

Once the desired configuration parameters have been set, two options are available to save the settings:

• Save:
  • If Custom Config is selected from the Unit Template dropdown list, saved settings will apply to only the selected Unit.
  • If a Unit Configuration Template is selected from the Unit Template dropdown list, saved settings will apply to all Units with that configuration.
• Save As - Use this feature to create a new template from the selected settings and apply to the selected Unit. This helps avoid accidentally changing the configuration of all Units with an assigned template. This is also helpful when testing one or two changes on an existing template with one Unit.
