2. Edit the data in the “acts.conf” file by adding or renaming servers from this list.

3. Return the revised data to TimeVault by sending a “set” command:

F100 config set acts host:192.168.1.14
dir:temp

TimeVault responds:

Are you sure? (y/N)<CR><LF>

If you answer “y”, TimeVault responds as follows*, then resets:

Source file temp/acts.conf bytes read: 149
Dest File/config/acts.conf bytes written: 149
Configuration files transferred successfully!

*<CR><LF> follows each line

As a safety feature, after sending this command, you have 10 seconds to respond
affirmatively (enter the letter “y”) to the confirmation prompt, after which TimeVault
executes the command and resets. Within that 10 second time period, any other response,
including no response, results in TimeVault canceling the command.

When sending a “set” command, the last number in TimeVault’s response (“149” in this

example) represents file length. Depending on your parameters, this number may vary.
