Windows MAXPage Software Installation & Configuration Guide for MAXPage
Creating a new database in the software
All of MAXPage’s settings are stored in a database file. Sometimes it is useful to have multiple databases saved and
available for different situations.
1. To create a new empty database file in the software, click File|New.
2. You may be asked to save changes to any currently open database files.
3. You are asked for a name and location for this new database.
4. Once created, a blank database displays in the software window. Settings can be configured in the software
and then uploaded to the MAXPage unit if required or saved for use later on.
NOTE: Be sure to back up any existing databases off the MAXPage unit before uploading new ones. This process is
outlined below.

2. You may be asked to save changes to any currently open database files.
3. You are then asked for the name and location of the file. Browse to its location and select it.

NOTE: The opened database is not uploaded to the MAXPage unit automatically.
