You can log in and out of configuration mode while the server is running. This allows you to perform administrative tasks without preventing 
operators from working in the VMX300(-E) client. When the server is in run mode, perform the following steps:

1. Double-click the VMX300(-E) icon in the Windows system tray, or right-click the icon and select Configure from the pop-up menu. The 

Server Login dialog box opens.

2. User name: Type your user name. User names are not case sensitive. For example, Bob and BOB are equivalent to bob. 

3. Password: Type your password. Passwords are case sensitive. For example, Admin1 and ADMIN1 are not equivalent to admin1.

4. Click OK. After several seconds, the Configuration window opens. 

5. Make whatever changes you want to the server configuration.

6. Save changes: If you made changes to the server configuration, select File > Save to save your changes. The server verifies your changes. 

If one or more scripts or expressions contain errors, the server displays an error message and gives you the opportunity to make corrections. 
Refer to Scripts and Expressions - Syntax Error-Checking for instructions on using the Scripts and Expressions Verification tools to make 
corrections. 

7. Exit configuration mode: Click File > Close or click the Close button at the right of the Configuration window title bar.  

If you made changes to the configuration that have not been saved, the server asks whether you want to save your changes. Click Yes to 
save your changes. The server verifies your changes. Make corrections as needed.

Once there are no errors, the Configuration window closes, momentarily interrupting operators logged in to the client. The server continues 
to run.

To put the server in run mode from configuration mode:

1. Save changes: If you made changes to the server configuration, select File > Save to save your changes. The server verifies your changes. 

If one or more scripts or expressions contain errors, the server displays an error message and gives you the opportunity to make corrections.

If you made changes to the configuration that have not been saved, the server asks whether you want to save your changes. Click Yes to 
save your changes. The server verifies your changes. Make corrections as needed.

Once there are no errors, the Configuration window closes and the server launches. When the server is running, the VMX300(-E) icon 
appears in the Windows system tray.

NOTE:  You must exit server configuration mode to make changes to the configuration come into effect. The exception to this is changes to 
device drivers and devices, which come into effect immediately.
