Sending Parameters to a File | I-Tech Company CMS 6R4 Series

8.Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

After the CMS-6R4 has been properly conﬁgured, parameters can be downloaded and saved as an ASCII text ﬁle on your local or remote PC. Later, if the conﬁguration is accidentally altered, the ﬁle with the saved parameters can be uploaded to automatically reconﬁgure the unit without the need to manually assign each parameter.

Saved parameters can also be uploaded to other CMS-6R4 units. This allows rapid set-up when several units will be conﬁgured with the same parameters.

The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any terminal emulation program (e.g. ProComm, Crosstalk, Hyperterminal, etc.), which allows downloading of ASCII ﬁles.

Notes:

•Although this function is only available via the Text Interface, parameters that are deﬁned via the Web Browser Interface will also be sent to the ASCII ﬁle.

•Note that the "Save Parameters" feature is only available when the Supervisor Mode is active.

8.1.Sending Parameters to a File

1.Start your communications program and access the CMS-6R4 command mode using a Password and port that permit access to Supervisor Level commands.

2.When the CMS-6R4 command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter]. The CMS-6R4 will prompt you to prepare your communications program. Set up your communications program to receive an ASCII download, and specify a name for the ﬁle that will receive the saved parameters (e.g. CMS6R4.PAR).

3.When the communications program is ready to receive the ﬁle, return to the CMS-6R4 command mode, and press [Enter] to proceed.

4.The CMS-6R4 will send a series of ASCII command lines which specify the currently selected parameters.
