View source for Config server

The Configuration Server takes the Project details as entered by the user on the Reflector Website and translates that into device configuration details for each of the individual devices in the project.
Each device calls in to the Configuration Server periodically, to see if there have been any changes to their configuration, applying them if there have.

The Configuration Server will ignore requests from devices that it has not been told about, so it is essential to register all devices to a project.
The Red / Green Device status shown on the Reflector website indicates whether a device is in contact with the Configuration Server. It can take up to 5 minutes before the Server will set a device to 'out of contact' (Red), as with IP networks, it is possible to 'lose' packets of information: only when several consecutive call-ins have been missed is the status changed.

Losing contact with the Configuration Server does not necessarily mean that audio has stopped streaming: audio is handled by the Reflector Server, which can be hosted on a different physical machine, in a different location. Users should check the status of their project devices if they receive an alert message.
