5.4.3 Update group configurations
Apart from manually changing the parameters in a group configuration, the
current configuration of a device can be used as the basis for a group config-
uration. One device is thus declared as "Master" for all other devices in the
same file.
To take over the values from a current device configuration for a group con-
figuration, simply drag the entry for this device onto the desired group config-
uration. All of the parameters defined in the group configuration are then
overwritten by the values in the device configuration.
The next time that LANconfig checks the devices, it will find that the configu-
rations in the other devices no longer agrees with the new group configura-
tion; this will be displayed by the device status.
5.4.4 Using multiple group configurations
Multiple group configurations can be created within a single folder. Only one
of these group configurations may be active at a time since the device status
only relates to one group configuration. Active group configurations are indi-
cated by a blue tick, inactive group configurations are indicated by a red
cross. To activate a group configuration, click on the entry with the right-hand
mouse key and select Active from the context menu. All other group config-
urations are then deactivated automatically.
Note: Different group configurations in one folder may not be linked to the
same partial configuration file.
