B&B Electronics 232BSS4 manual Copying Parameters Between Switches, Default Parameters

Copying Parameters Between Switches:

The 232BSS4 setup software can save configuration data to a file for copying of parameters. Any unit’s setup can be copied by first reading the data from one switch, then saving to another.

Step 1:	Run the setup software.
Step 2:	Select serial (COM) port to be used for programming.
Step 3:	Select Single Unit operation. If the configuration to be used
	is already saved to a file, skip to Step 8.
Step 4:	Connect the switch to be copied to the serial (COM) port of
	the PC. Install the setup jumper. Apply power to the
	232BSS4.
Step 5:	Click Next.
Step 6:	Select Save As from the File menu. Save the configuration to
	disk.
Step 7:	Disconnect the first 232BSS4 from the COM port.
Step 8:	Connect the destination switch to the serial (COM) port of
	the PC. Install the setup jumper. Apply power to the
	232BSS4.
Step 9:	Select File/Load File and load the saved configuration.
Step 10:	Click Save Changes

Once the configuration file has been loaded, any number of switches can be set to the same parameters by connecting and configuring each in turn.
