Parameter “Save module parameters“ in the web server
The choice Yes or Standard cannot be displayed in the web server, caused by the data structure of
this parameter. The display will be reset to No anytime.
Option Yes: The current image of all module parameters is saved in the network adapter and will be
sent to the modules again during the Network adapter’s next restart. Subsequent changes of the
module parameters are considered and saved only if the option Yes will be chosen again.
Option Standard: The default parameters will be loaded to the modules immediately. Subsequent
changes of the module parameters are possible, but they will get loss during the network adapter’s
next restart.
Parameter “Restore module parameters“
This parameter is not editable. It will be automatically set to Yes as soon as the network adapter will
have sent saved parameter data to the modules.
