Load settings from a text file
By using an ANSI compatible terminal application e.g. Microsoft
®
HyperTerminal (which is supplied with the
Windows
®
operating system) or any other ANSI terminal, it is possible to load single commands or the
complete configuration from a text file.
Important:
There are two commands that need special attention when loading configuration from a text file:
1. READ CONFIG
2. WRITE SYS SETUPDEFAULT YES
READ CONFIG is the first command in the text file. It is recommended to delete this command from the text
file before loading the configuration. If it is not deleted the loading procedure will start read out the
configuration instead of loading it into the alarm monitor!
WRITE SYS SETUPDEFAULT YES is the last command I the text file. It is recommended to delete this
command from the text file before loading the configuration. If it’s not deleted the complete configuration will
be loaded into the alarm monitor but at the end of the loading procedure the loaded configuration will be
deleted and replaced by the factory default configuration.
Load configuration:
The procedure below describes how to load the configuration into the alarm monitor via Microsoft
®
HyperTerminal:
1. Click on the menu Transfer.
2. Click on the menu item Send Text File…
3. Click on the button Browse.
Select the text file containing the configuration.
4. Click on the button Open.
The commands in the text file will now be retransmitted to the alarm monitor. This will take several seconds
or maybe even a few minutes depending on the amount of commands in the text file.
