When replacing a module with a different module type, a mismatch will occur. This will be shown both in the
alarms and in the
About
page. A DVB-S/S2 module however, can replace a QPSK module. When this happens, a
convert button will show up in the
About
page along with the remove button. Clicking this button will enable
the DVB-S/S2 module to inherit the configuration of the old QPSK module.
It is not possible to undo this process from the web GUI.

This feature has two benefit::
o
To restore a unit to a previous state, or
o
To use the same setup on multiple units
Use the
Include local IP addresses
option to bring a unit back to a previous state when lots of changes need to
be undone; or if an upgrade has been unsuccessful.
It is recommended that the configuration be exported before each upgrade and restored after a downgrade (if
the downgrade was unsuccessful).
To use the same setup on multiple units, uncheck the
Include local IP addresses
option. This way, only one unit
needs to be configured, and all the other units will use the same configuration
–
but on their existing IP
addresses.
