Western Telematic NPS-2HD manual Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

7.Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

After the NPS-2HD has been properly configured, parameters can be downloaded and saved as an ASCII text file. 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 NPS-2HD 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.
