Q: What software application is used to configure a D20MX configuration?
A: The SGConfig (version 8.1 or higher) offline configuration tool is used to configure the
D20MX. SGConfig is similar to ConfigPro which is used to program its predecessor.
Q: Can you migrate an old D20/D200 configuration to D20MX?
A: ConfigPro is partly used to get the D20 device configuration ready for migration into
the SGConfig tool.
A: It is recommended to migrate a project rather than a device to prevent partial loss of
configuration data related to Ethernet/LAN.
A: For detailed migration steps, see section “Transfer D20/D200 configurations to the
D20MX” on page 76.
Q: What comprises a typical D20MX firmware upgrade?
A: Typically a firmware upgrade of the D20MX involves only the operating system and
application firmware images, which are transferred by SFTP.
Q: How do you upgrade the low-level firmware components of a D20MX?
A: To upgrade the low-level firmware components (i.e., Bootrom, FPGA or JMON) of a

low-level firmware components is seldom required.
