Save settings in a text file
It is often practical to make a backup copy of the module configuration. The copy can be used for safe
keeping and documentation, or it can be sent to colleagues for evaluation and trouble shooting.
It can also be edited and changed in Notepad for later upload in the M4200.
The procedure below describes how to transfer the configuration from Microsoft
®
HyperTerminal:
1. Click on the menu Transfer.
2. Click on the menu item Capture Text.
3. Click on the button Browse.
Select a location and filename for the text file containing the configuration.
4. Click on the button Save.
When the Capture Text dialog appears on the screen:
5. Click on the button Start.
When the Capture Text dialog disappears from the screen:
6. Type the text read config in the terminal window
7. Press Enter on the keyboard and wait 5 seconds
The current configuration is listed in the terminal window. The configuration has simultaneously been
captured in the text file.
To stop the transmission to the text file:
8. Click on the menu Transfer.
9. Click on the menu item Capture Text.
10. Click on the menu item Stop.
The configuration is now accessible as a readable text file. The file contains all parameters necessary to re-
establish the configuration of the module.
Find and open the text file to check the content. It is necessary to scroll through the contents of the notepad
window in order to view the full content of the file.
NOTE
In order to restore the configuration from the text file into the alarm monitor, please refer to the section Load
settings from a text file on page 34.
