Setting the system back to defaults
The system can be set back to the original defaults by selecting “File/Set Config to
Default” from the dropdown menu. This should be used with caution.
Saving the configuration
The configuration file is automatically saved when you exit the program, but in case the
power is removed from the computer, the configuration file will not be saved. For this
reason it is a good idea to save the configuration from time to time when you are
configuring large systems. This is not necessary to do on smaller networks. If you are
done configuring A3 then you should always save the configuration as well. To save
the configuration select “File/Save Config” and the file will be saved.
The file can also be saved for back-up purposes by selecting “File/Save Config as…”
and choosing a location.
Opening a previously saved configuration file
The system can be quickly configured by opening a previously saved configuration.
This can be done by selecting “File/Open and Load Config File” from the dropdown
menu and then selecting a file to open.
The location of the configuration file
The A3 configuration file is always named “a3_system_config.cfg” and is located in the
installation path. By default the file will be found in “c:\program files\a3 system
management software\a3_system_config.cfg” and is approximately 256 kb in size
(depending on your configuration), but can be much larger.
