10.3.1 Configuration File
There are two kinds of configuration sets stored on the device:
• Configuration files with device specific parameters;
• Configuration files with application specific parameters.
Device Specific Parameters
These parameters are used to set up device specific settings and they are excluded from the
imported/exported configuration files. This is done to avoid losing connectivity with the device after
loading a new configuration file or after a redundancy switch-over. The device specific parameters
are:
– Mgmt Gateway IP Address;
– Mgmt Interface IP Addresses;
– Data Interface IP Addresses;
– Device Identification Label;
– Link Redundancy priority (None, Mgmt1 or Mgmt2, Mgmt1 before Mgmt2, …);
– Device Redundancy state (Enable, Initial State, Operational State).
The device specific parameters cannot be consulted or exported to an XML file.
Application Specific Parameters
These parameters are specific for the application settings.
All these settings are stored in an XML file. The following figure is an extract of such an XML file.
The XML or configuration file provides the possibility to import or export the device application
specific parameters. This configuration file can be useful as a back-up file, to debug or configure the
device offline.
It is possible to store up to 48 different configuration files. These files can be imported and exported
To view or download a configuration file, refer to section: ExportaConfiguration.onpage86
Configurations can be reused among devices where the same licenses are applicable.
