Controlling a Videon device with the hosted XML file
To control a Videon device with the configured XML file, simply change a value in the file itself. Once that file is saved on the hosted link, the Videon device will pick up the new settings the next time it polls. The polling interval can be set in the XML or in the Videon web browser interface (default is every 10 seconds).
