Backup Network Settings

Use the following procedure to backup your ThinkEssentials® configuration to the drive and directory of your choice.

The Wayne-Dalton USB Z-Wave®adapter stores basic information about the devices in your network, but the layout, scenes and zones, and many other configuration options are stored by ThinkEssentials® on your computer.

When moving the ThinkEssentials® software from one computer to another, you’ll generally want to BACKUP your network settings on the original computer, move the software to the new computer, and then RESTORE your network settings on the new computer. This will preserve your device and floor plan layout and

configuration.

You may also wish to store the backup file on a disk or other backup storage drive as security in the event of hard drive failure with your PC.

1.Switch to the SETTINGS tab and click the BACKUP OR RESTORE NETWORK SETTINGS link.
