pane makes it possible to save the current IP settings or the
entire unit configuration (everything that can be set up within the
Configuration
tab) to
a file, and also to upload a previously-saved configuration file to the unit. A configuration
file can be saved for use as a backup, or it can be uploaded to one or more other units to
streamline the configuration process.

IP address of this SMP 351 to a different number (see
Setting the IP address, port
numbers, and other network settings
on page 115) so there are no network
conflicts.
