Western Telematic RPC-4840N manual Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

7.Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

After the RPC-4840N 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 RPC-4840N 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.

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

4.The RPC-4840N will send a series of ASCII command lines which specify the currently selected parameters.
