The configuration ID is a number that refers to a particular
configuration file. Each new configuration file is assigned its
respective ID which remains the same while saving or exporting the
file.
To assign a new ID to configuration file, you can generate one by
clicking the Generate new button, or
overwrite it manually. The number is supposed to be written in the
hexadecimal form with 8 figures at maximum.
Configuration ID in Mirror
Each configuration ID is assigned a value called Timestamp (can
be viewed in the file update.ver). Client computers keep track of
downloaded configuration (identified by an ID). Each modification
of configuration changes the value Timestamp in the file
update.ver. When downloading configuration, client computers check
the value if it differs, modification is applied and timestamp
updated on client computers. If a configuration file is replaced by
another, the latter is given an ID different from that assigned to
the former.
