Saving a Configuration To File

When you connect to a Device Server, the Device Server’s configuration is automatically uploaded to the DeviceManager. We suggest that you save the configuration to a file at this point, in case you need to revert to a working configuration in the future, by selecting Tools, Save Configuration to File. You can choose to save the configuration to the Device Server’s native binary format or to a text file, which can be edited with a text editor. Either format can be reloaded into the DeviceManager at any time.

Getting a Configuration File

The DeviceManager can get a local configuration file (either binary or text) when you select Tools, Get Configuration, Import from File. The DeviceManager can also get the configuration from the Device Server it’s connected to when you select Tools, Get Configuration, Upload from Unit; this can be useful if you’ve made changes to the Device Server’s configuration that you would like to discard, you can simply reload the Device Server’s current configuration into the DeviceManager.

Configuring Multiple Device Servers

You can configure multiple Device Servers at one time with the active configuration file. Any value in the configuration file’s Server Name and Internet Address parameters will be overwritten by the values specified in the Server Name and IP Address fields (these fields cannot be left blank)
