Save / Load Configuration

Tip:

Saving the configuration before powering off is not necessary. The unit saves the current configuration in real time.

The LivePremier units can export and import device configurations.
In addition to these features, the LivePremier units also have two embedded memory slots to save and load
configurations internally.
