Select “Configuration > Save” in the main menu.

By selecting this menu item, the active configuration of the matrix is saved to the permanent matrix memory. By default, the last configuration that has been saved in this way will be restored after the matrix restarts.

NOTE: Changing or saving configurations blocks the matrix memory and freezes all OSD menus for a few seconds. The switching connections are not affected by this freeze.

If you select “Auto Save” within the system settings, it will automatically save the configuration periodically.

4.9.2 Saving of Configurations (Internal)

In this menu, the current matrix configuration to predefined storage locations is saved. However, it does not replace configuration buffering.

You can access the menu via OSD or Java:
