Copying the Hub Configuration File

Copying the Hub Configuration file permits the Administrator to make backups of key data entered by
Administrators, such as Input names, Port names, Devices and the Hub setup.

Create a directory or folder on the PC to store the configuration file. For example, create
C:\UDM\Config.

To backup the Hub Configuration file:

1.

Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.

2.

Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the Hub Configuration file is to
be stored on the PC:

e.g. cd\udm and cd\config.

3.

Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below:

TFTP -i [IP address] get hxxxxx.hub

Where hxxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub configuration file.

The file name must start with an h.

If the name of the Hub Configuration file is not known, typing in h followed by any logical
characters will find the file, as only one file beginning with h is in the UDM-0404.

Use a name that will identify the hub configuration file for the project. For example,
hmyproject.hub
is an acceptable name.

4.

When complete, close the command window.

Windows XP Pro has a built in TFTP client program. If you are using another
operating system, or have an alternate TFTP client, follow the directions of your OS
