Model 6511RC User Manual 3 • Configuring the Matrix Switch for operation

Backing up your configuration parameters

The 6511RC Matrix Switch provides Import/Export functions that enable you to back up (export) and restore (import) your Matrix Switch’s configuration parameters against possible failure. Should your Matrix Switch ever need replacing, a previously saved copy of your (exported) configuration file can quickly be loaded (imported) into a replacement Matrix Switch.

Note Import/Export functions require superuser access privileges.

Note The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as they are stored in flash memory and may not be the current operating parameters. To ensure that you export the most current parameters, go to HOME, then under Operator Actions, click on the Record Cur- rent Configuration button.

To import or export a configuration, do the following:

1.On the 6511RC Configuration Menu (see figure 27 on page 48), click the Import/Export hyperlink to dis- play the Import/Export page (see figure 57).
