Auto backup to the ABC-02 when configurations change
The ABC-02 is capable of backing up switch configuration files
automatically. This function is found under “System/System Files/
Configuration Backup and Restore”. While the ABC-02 is plugged into
the switch, enable the “Auto backup to ABC-02 when configuration
change” option. Then click “Apply”. Once this configuration is modified,
the switch will back up the current configuration under the “/His_ini”
folder in the ABC-02. The file name will be the system date/time
(MMDDHHmm.ini).
Auto backup of the earliest 100 log entries to prevent
overwriting
This function is designed to maintain a long-term record the switch log
files. Moxa Ethernet switches are capable of saving 1000 entries of
event logs. When the 1000-entry storage limit is reached, the switch
will delete the oldest saved event log. The ABC-02 can help to backup
these event logs. When switch log entries reach 1000, the ABC-02 will
back up the earliest 100 entries of the switch.
The function is found under “System/System Files/ Log File Backup”.
Enable the “Auto backup the earliest 100 log entries to prevent
overwriting”. Then click “Apply”. After that, when the ABC-02 is
plugged into the switch, the event logs will always be saved to the ABC-
02 automatically.
NOTE For further details on the ABC-02 operation through the switch
web console, please refer to the switch user manual.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the ABC-02 when the STATE LED is blinking or

NOTE The status of the ABC-02 may be checked on the switch web
console or by observing the switch front panel LEDs.
