3.4.4Enabling/Disabling Soft-switch Reload
The Soft-switch Reload function controls the configurations of the GX/TM and other iConverter modules managed by the GX/TM following a power up.
When the Soft-switch Reload is disabled, the configurations of the GX/TM and the other managed modules (non-management modules) are determined by their hardware DIP-switch settings following a return of power.
When the Soft-switch Reload is enabled, the configurations of the GX/TM and the other managed modules are determined by the previous software settings stored in the FLASH memory of the GX/TM following a return of power. Each of the hardware DIP-switch settings on the module are ignored until a change is made to the DIP-switch, then the hardware settings will take effect.
To set the Soft-switch Reload function, select 8 at the IP and Control Preferences screen, press <ENTER> and then follow the screen prompts to change the setting.
