7.Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

After the IPS has been properly conﬁgured, parameters can be downloaded and saved as an ASCII text ﬁle on your local or remote PC. 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 IPS 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.), which allows downloading of ASCII ﬁles.

Note: Although this function is only available via the Text Interface, parameters that are deﬁned via the Web Browser Interface will also be sent to the ASCII ﬁle.

7.1. Sending Parameters to a File

1.Start your communications program and access the IPS command mode using the System Level Password.

2.When the IPS command prompt appears, type /DL and press [Enter]. The IPS will prompt you to prepare your communications program. Set up your communications program to receive an ASCII download, and specify a name for the ﬁle that will receive the saved parameters

(e.g. IPS.PAR).

3.When the communications program is ready to receive the ﬁle, return to the IPS command mode, and press [Enter] to proceed.

4.The IPS will send a series of ASCII command lines which specify the currently selected IPS parameters.
