Saving and Loading Programming
The programming in your IMS-4000 can be saved to a file. This gives you the ability to back up
your programming or copy the same programming to another IMS-4000 unit. Note that the file you
save will not include custom voice files or settings entered through the serial port (network param-
eters, web settings, two-way e-mail, RAS, etc.). To save your programming to a file, right-click on
the name of your host and select Save Programming.
To load a programming file into your IMS-4000, right-click on the name of your host from the
menu tree and select Load Programming. Select a programming file to load and click the Load
button. Your unit will have to restart for the new programming to take effect. When the unit
restarts, you will be logged off. After 10 or so seconds reconnect to the unit.
Reconnecting
At times your PC and IMS-4000 Host units may become disconnected. This may happen due to a
system restart or other communication-related problem. You can reconnect to an IMS-4000 using
the Reconnect command. To reconnect to a unit, click on File from the main menu and select
Reconnect. Highlight the IP address of the unit you want to reconnect with and then click the
Reconnect button.

Recording and Uploading Voice Messages
Custom voice messages can be assigned to many aspects of your IMS system. Voice messages are
used during call-in status reports and alarm dial-out. This allows the system to identify and describe
exactly where the problem is located, which equipment is affected, or which network device is not
functioning. You can assign custom voice messages to the following:
IMS-4000 Host {See Host Properties}
IMS-4000 Node {See Node Properties}
Each Environmental Input {See Channel Setup}
Each IP Alarm {See IP Alarm Setup}
Each PowerGate Device {See PowerGate Setup}
Each PowerGate Outlet {See PowerGate Setup}
