7.2. Restoring Saved Parameters
This Section describes the procedure for using your communications program
to send saved parameters to the IPS.
Note: Parameters saved to an ASCII file can only be restored via
the Text Interface. This procedure cannot be performed via the Web
Browser Interface.
1. Start your communications program and access the IPS command mode
via the Text Interface as described in Section 5.2.2.
2. If the Password Prompt is displayed, key in your System Level Password
and press [Enter].
3. Configure your communications program to upload an ASCII text file.
4. Upload the file with the saved parameters. If necessary, key in the file
name and directory path.
5. When the upload is complete, make certain to terminate the
communications program’s upload mode.
Note:
• The current On/Off status of each IPS plug will not be saved or
restored.
• When the configuration file is sent to the IPS via telnet, the unit’s IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address will not be changed
until after you exit from command mode.
At this point, saved parameters should have been restored to the IPS unit.
Check the Plug Status Screen, General Parameters Menu, Plug Parameters
Menu and Network Parameters Menu to make certain that saved parameters
have been accurately restored.
