Import Configuration
The Import Configuration function is used to import an entire configuration from a text file to
EDS-518A. This utility can be used to transfer the configuration from one EDS-518A to another,
by first using the Export Configuration function (described in the previous section) to save a
switch configuration to a file, and then using the Import Configuration function. Perform the
following steps to import a configuration:
1. Highlight the server (from the MOXA EtherDevice Switch list in the Configurator window’s
left pane), and then click the Import toolbar icon , or select Import Configuration from
the Configuration menu.
2. Use the Open window to navigate to the text file that contains the desired configuration. Once
the file is selected, click Open to initiate the import procedure.
3. The Setup Configuration window will be displayed, with a special note attached at the
bottom. Parameters that have been changed will be activated with a checkmark. You may
make more changes if necessary, and then click OK to accept the changes.
