Operating
Config File Export: Saves the current configuration in a text file.
Saving the configuration should only be carried out in an SSL connection, since it
contains sensitive password information (even if it is encrypted or hashed).
Restart Device: Restarts the device without changing the status of the relays.
Some functions such as a firmware update or changing of the IP-address and
HTTP settings require a restart of the device. A jump to the boot loader or a restart of
the device lead by no means to a change of the relay states.
Restore Fab Settings and Restart Device: Performs a restart and resets the device to
factory default
.
Enter Bootloader Mode: Jumps into bootloader mode, where additional settings can be
made with GBL_Conf.exe.
Flush DNS Cache: All entries in the DNS cache are discarded and address resolutions
are requested again.

Configuration Management
The device configuration can be saved and restored in the maintenance area
.
The "Config File Export" function can be used to save the current configuration as a
text file. The syntax used in the configuration file corresponds to the commands of the
Telnet console. If the configuration of a device is to be restored from a text file, load
the file with "Upload" and restart the device with "Restart Device".
Saving the configuration should only be carried out in an SSL connection, since it
contains sensitive password information (even if it is encrypted or hashed). For the
same reasons, it is advisable to carefully handle the generated configuration files when
archiving.
Editing the configuration file
It is possible to customize a saved configuration file with a text editor for your own
needs. For example, one scenario would be to use a script language to automate the
creation of many customized versions of a configuration, then equip a large number of
devices with an individualized configuration. Also Upload and restart with CGI com-
mands can be done in scripting languages. With use of the comment sign "#" you can
quickly hide single commands or add personal notes.
If you modify a configuration file manually, it is not always clear which limits are allowed
for parameters. After uploading and restarting, commands with invalid parameters are
ignored. Therefore, the generated configuration includes comments describing the
boundaries of the parameters. Where "range:" refers to a numeric value, and "len:" to a
text parameter. E.g:
