Backup and Restore Configuration
Backup and Restore provide configuration save, restore, and change via file transfer. Configuration
files are ASCII files, consisting of a series of T1.317 commands. Files are typically transferred between a
controller and a PC.
Controller configuration does not actually reside in a file within the controller.
Backup
-
The controller sends its configuration as a file. The file may be edited before restoring it. The
file is created by the controller on the fly during the backup operation.
Restore
-
The controller receives a configuration file and executes the commands within the file to
perform configuration changes. The file does not replace the pre
-
restore configuration in its
entirety.
Backup and restore may be performed via several alternate means.
