8.2. Load and Save RIM-1000 Configuration Data
You can save RIM-1000 configuration data for backup purposes and to load the same configuration onto other RIM-1000 units. In the
unlikely event the RIM-1000 fails, a replacement RIM-1000 can be placed back in service faster by loading the saved configuration
information onto it. The configuration settings are saved to a binary file, which cannot currently be edited off line.
8.2.1 Save Configuration Data
1. On the RIM-1000 interface, go to Configuration>Flash Program.
The Flash Program Configuration page displays.
Figure 8.7 Save Configuration File (Flash Program Configuration Page)
You can save three different types of configuration files:
• Base configuration (.cfg) — Information about physical points other than Modbus points.
• Modbus configuration (.mfg) — Information about Modbus points.
• FCF configuration (.xfg) — Information about all points, a combination of the .cfg and .mfg files.
2. To save a configuration file, click the link for the type of file you want to save. A popup prompts you to open or save the file.
3. Select the Save File radio button and click OK.
The file is saved to your web browser’s download area, or you are prompted to choose a location for the file.
4. Use Windows Explorer to verify that the files exist on the PC's hard drive. Copy the files to the desired file backup location.
IMPORTANT Do not change the three-letter extension (.cfg, .mfg, or .xfg) of the file name, or the RIM-1000 will not recognize the file
if you try to load it. You can change the base file name if desired.
