5.4. Save Configuration Parameters

The IPS-15 offers two methods for saving parameters; Saving to Flash Memory, and Saving to an ASCII File.

Saving parameters to flash memory ensures that your user-defined configuration will remain intact if power to the IPS Master Unit is temporarily interrupted. After the configuration menus have been used to change parameters, the IPS will prompt you to save parameters before exiting from Command Mode. At this point, the IPS offers the options to Save parameters to flash, continue without saving, or revert to the previously saved parameters.

Saving Parameters to an ASCII file allows you to create a "backup" of your currently defined configuration. As described in Section 7, this provides quick recovery in the event that the unit is accidentally reset to default parameters, and also allows you to copy parameters to other IPS-15 units, when several Master Units need to be configured with the same parameters.

Notes:

￿After new Parameters have been applied, the IPS will display a "Save" prompt. In the Web Browser Interface, this prompt appears when you leave the configurations menus. In the Text Interface, the "Save" prompt appears when you disconnect from the unit. At this point, you have the option of saving new parameters to flash memory, continuing without saving, or reverting to previously saved parameters.

￿If parameters have not been saved, and if power to the Master Unit is interrupted, newly defined parameters will be lost. When power is restored, the unit will then be configured with the previously saved parameters.
