8.Saving and Restoring Parameters and Password Directory

After the SRM-100 has been properly configured and the Password Directory has been defined, configuration parameters and the Password Directory can be saved as an ASCII text file. Later, if the configuration is accidentally altered, the file can be uploaded to automatically reconfigure the unit without the need to manually assign each parameter and password.

Saved parameters and passwords can also be uploaded to other

SRM-100 units. This allows rapid set-up when several units will be configured with the same parameters and password directory.

The “Save Parameters” procedure can be performed from any communications program (e.g. ProComm, Hyperterminal, etc.), that allows downloading of ASCII files.

8.1. Sending Parameters to a File

1.Start your communications program and access the SRM Command Mode as described in Section 5.1.

2.When the command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter] .

a)The Utilities Menu will appear. From the Utilities Menu, type 7 and press [Enter]. The SRM will prompt you to configure your communications program to receive an ASCII download.

b)Set your communications program to receive an ASCII format download, and specify a name for a file that will receive the saved parameters (e.g. SRM.PAR).

c)Make certain to disable your communication program's Line Wrap function. This will prevent command lines from being broken in two during transmission.

3.When the communications program is ready to receive the file, return to the SRM Command Mode and press [Enter] to proceed with the download.

4.The SRM will send a series of ASCII command lines which specify the currently selected SRM parameters. Menu selected parameters and the currently defined Password Directory will be saved on your hard drive in the file specified in Step 2 above.
