Configuration Documents

EZConfig Editor creates configuration documents in the EXM file format to use for programming and configuring terminals.

Creating New Configuration Documents

To create new EXM files that are configuration documents, you can open an existing EXM file and save it with a new name or create an EXM file from scratch.

1.Click File > New > Configuration Document. The root node is created and appears as the top level section. All sec- tions must be at least one level down from the root node. The name of the root node is always the same as the filename.

The terminal reads root node first.

12.Click File > Save As to save the file.
