Back up and restore the configuration file
You back up the configuration file of the device either directly on the device via USB or with
remote access from a PC, see section "Remote configuration (Page 110)".
The configuration file contains all device-specific configuration settings with the exception of
the background image. You can back up the configuration file of a device and, for example,
restore it to several devices:
• Use the "Save" button to back up the configuration file for the device to the connected
USB drive. To do this, you select a folder in the file system and close the dialog with "OK".
The configuration file is stored in the selected folder.
• Use the "Restore" button to restore the backed up configuration file via a connected USB
drive, for example if the current configuration file has been inadvertently overwritten. To
do this, you select a configuration file from a file dialog and close the dialog with "OK".
The syntax within the configuration file is checked. If the syntax is free of errors, the
configuration file is transferred to the device and the previous configuration file is
overwritten. Otherwise an alarm is output.
Note
Saving the configuration file
Back up the current configuration file before and after each firmware update.
You are prompted to enter a password between 8 and 32 characters in length when
saving.
Restoring the configuration file
Only configuration files created on the device or via remote configuration are supported
for restoration. Configuration files of older V2.x versions are no longer supported.
When you restore, you are prompted to enter the password you assigned when backing
up.
IP address conflicts
Do not restore configuration files with identical IP addresses on different devices. Reassign
the IP addresses.
