Western Telematic IPS-15 - Manual (Page 47)

7. Saving and Restoring
Configuration Parameters
After the IPS has been properly configured, parameters can be
downloaded and saved as an ASCII text file on your local or remote
PC. Later, if the configuration is accidentally altered, the file with
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 IPS units. This
allows rapid set-up when several units will be configured with the
same parameters.
The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any
terminal emulation program (e.g. ProComm, Crosstalk,
Hyperterminal, etc.), which allows downloading of ASCII files.
Note: Although this function is available only via the
Text Interface, parameters that have been defined via
the Web Browser Interface will also be sent to the
ASCII file.
7.1. Sending Parameters to a File
1. Start your communications program and access the IPS
command mode using the System Level Password.
2. When the IPS command prompt appears, type /DL and press
[Enter]. The IPS-15 will prompt you to prepare your
communications program. Set up your communications
program to receive an ASCII download, and specify a name
for the file that will receive the saved parameters (e.g.
IPS.PAR).
3. When the communications program is ready to receive the
file, return to the IPS command mode, and press [Enter] to
proceed.
4. The IPS will send a series of ASCII command lines which
specify the currently selected IPS parameters.
