Uploading and Downloading a Configuration
Your configuration options for the BAC reside in a file in memory on the SCP card. This file may be saved for purposes of disaster recovery by uploading it to an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server. A configuration file may be restored by downloading it from an FTP server.
Use the System - Save and Restore screen to:
Save (upload) the configuration to an external file using FTP.
