Gateway Configuration
The communications gateway supports a capability to perform bulk imports and exports
of certain con guration data parameters. The communications gateway will use the same
XML le format for both import and export functions. This will allow a user to con gure
settings in one communications gateway device, export those settings into an XML le,
and then import the same settings into another communications gateway. The selection
of Import Con guration or Export Con guration options invokes a series of dialog
boxes allowing navigation on a PC to a con guration le for “Import” or the saving of a
le for “Export.” See Figure 21.
Note: When the IEC104 protocol is enabled, the export file will include all IEC104
settings and exclude all DNP3 settings. If DNP3 protocol is enabled, the export file will
include all DNP3 settings and exclude all IEC104 settings.

XML File Description
The XML le format is split into two sections. The rst section is encapsulated by
<Con gDB> and <con guration> tags. Each item in this section is a simple name/value
pair, for example:
< C o n g D B >
<con guration>
<item value=”50” name=”gatewayAddress”/>
</con guration>
< / C o n g D B >
where name=“gatewayAddress” represents the communications gateway’s own DNP3
address, and the associated value=“50” is a simple integer. The list of parameters that
can be included in the <Con gDB> section of the XML is detailed in Table 1 on page 32.
