8.Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

After the CMS has been properly configured, parameters can be downloaded and saved as an ASCII text file. Later, if the configuration is accidentally altered, the file with the saved parameters can be uploaded to automatically reconfigure the unit without the need to manually assign each parameter.

Saved parameters can also be uploaded to other CMS units. This allows rapid set-up when several units will be configured with the same parameters.

The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any terminal emulation program (e.g. ProComm, Crosstalk, Hyperterminal, etc.), that allows downloading of ASCII files.

8.1. Sending Parameters to a File

1.Start ProComm and access the CMS Command Mode. If the password prompt is displayed, enter the Supervisor Password.

2.When the CMS command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter]. The CMS will prompt you to configure your terminal emulation program to receive an ASCII download. Set your terminal emulation program to receive an ASCII format download, and the specify a name for a file that will receive the saved parameters (e.g. CMS.PAR).

3.When the terminal emulation program is ready to receive the file, return to the CMS Save Parameter File menu, and press [Enter] to proceed with the download. CMS parameters will be saved on your hard drive in the file specified in Step 2 above.

4.The CMS will send a series of ASCII command lines which specify the currently selected CMS parameters. The last line of the file should end with a "/G-00" command.

8.2. Restoring Saved Parameters

This section describes the procedure for using ProComm to send stored parameters to the CMS.

1.Start your terminal emulation program and access the CMS Command Mode; if the password prompt is displayed, enter the Supervisor Password.

2.Configure your terminal emulation program to upload and ASCII text file.

3. Upload the ASCII text file with the saved CMS parameters. If necessary, key in the file
