[AG-TECH] Configurations Menu

[Jason Bell]

Dear Colleagues

I am writing this email to highlight a new functionality on AGTK 3.0.2
that some of you may find useful.

If you have ever needed to change your Access Grid configuration to a
setup that may be configured to:

*	use low bandwidth;
*	only use one camera (Video Producer);
*	use addition output streams (Video Producers);
*	use a special node service;

This can now be achieved a lot easier by using the "Configurations" menu
found under the "Tools -> Configurations" menu within the Venue Client.

Before you can easily change from one configuration to another, you will
need to configure the AG with the service specifications that you
require and then store the configuration using an appropriate name.

Once you have stored the various configurations, you can simply change
from one Access Grid configuration to another using the new
"Configurations menu".  By selecting a configuration, it will shutdown
all of the services and restart the required services as defined by the
stored configuration.

This ability allows you to quickly change the entire setup of your node
to accommodate different needs very quickly.

I would be interested to hear what people think of this new
functionality.

Hope some of you find it useful.

Cheers,
Jason.
