15. Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters
Once the TSM/RSM is properly configured, parameters can be downloaded and
saved. Later, if the configuration is accidentally altered, the saved parameters can be
uploaded to automatically reconfigure the unit without the need to manually assign each
parameter.
Saved parameters can also be uploaded to other identical TSM/RSM units, allowing
rapid set-up when several identical units will be configured with the same parameters.
The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any terminal emulation
program (e.g. HyperTerminalâ„¢, TeraTerm
©
, etc.), that allows downloading.

15.1. Sending Parameters to a File
15.1.1. Downloading & Saving Parameters via Text Interface
1. Access the Text Interface command mode using an account that permits
Administrator level commands.
2. When the command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter]. The TSM/RSM
will prompt you to configure your terminal emulation program to receive an ASCII
download.
a) Set your terminal emulation program to receive an ASCII file, and the specify a
name for a file that will receive the saved parameters (e.g., TSM.PAR).
b) Disable the Line Wrap function for your terminal emulation program. This will
prevent command lines from being broken in two during transmission.
3. When the terminal emulation program is ready to receive the file, return to the
TSM/RSM’s Save Parameter File menu, and press [Enter] to proceed. TSM/RSM
parameters will be saved on your hard drive in the file specified in Step 2 above.
4. The TSM/RSM will send a series of command lines which specify currently selected
parameters. When the download is complete, press [Enter] to return to the
command prompt.
