Configure the system_private.config file

The system_private.config file is used to help to access the data correctly.
  1. Open Microsoft Notepad as an Administrator.
  2. Click 
    File
     > 
    Open
    .
  3. Navigate to 
    C:\Program Files\capnode
     and change the file selection from 
    Text >Documents (*.txt)
     to 
    All Files (*.*)
    .
  4. Select the 
    system_private.config
     file.
  5. Click 
    Open
    .
  6. Verify the following items in the system_private.config file:
    1. The 
      indexURL
       variable should be formatted similar to the following image.
    2. The 
      base URL
       should be followed by 
      “/syndication/”
      , then the device gateway protocol ID (for example, CAP_LRAD for an LRAD Giant Voice system), the organization ID number, followed by 
      "/capindex"
      .
    3. The 
      “#”
       at the beginning of a line in the 
      system_private.config
       file is used to comment out an unused line. The “#” should be removed from a line to use the variable.
  7. Enter the 
    proxy server
     and 
    proxy port information
     which is collected earlier in the proxyserver and proxyport parameters. If the settings on the machine that tested with is set for “Automatic” in the proxy settings, the settings for those two lines displays as follows:
    • proxyServer=none
    • proxyPort=8080
  8. Update the CapPostingTarget variables to reflect the correct URL using the same base URL as in the 
    indexURL
     variable.

  9. The LRAD COM Port settings displayed in the following image are default values and should not be changed.
