ONFIGURATION
Select
Save new configuration
to save a revised configuration either to the
Multiport Spooler VIII’s static RAM or to a PC file:
• To replace the current saved configuration with the revised configuration,
select the
Change the Multiport Spooler VIII configuration
option at the
window that appears. You will be prompted to enter the password of the
configuration being replaced. A
New Configuration Active
message will
be displayed when the configuration is successfully stored.
NOTES
When you save a configuration to the Multiport Spooler VIII’s static RAM,
the current configuration is revised immediately and the unit is
reinitialized. Any jobs that the MPS-VIII was processing are lost.
Therefore, do not change the current configuration during any
transmissions to or from the MPS-VIII.
The
Save new configuration
option uses one block of the MPS-VIII’s
memory to transfer configurations to the MPS-VIII. If all of a unit’s
memory blocks are in use or reserved, you will not be able to save a
configuration to that unit.
• To generate a file containing the configuration, choose the
Save revised
configuration to disk
option at the window that appears. No password is
required. MPSCONF prompts you for a name; it supplies the default
name NONAME, which you can change if you wish. MPSCONF
automatically appends the extension .BW.
NOTE
Modifications made to a loaded configuration are not retained unless you
save it either in the Multiport Spooler VIII or as a file on disk.
If your attempt to save a configuration to the MPS-VIII is unsuccessful, one
of the following messages may point to the problem:
Wrong MPS-VIII Model
The type of Multiport Spooler VIII listed in your configuration does not
match the MPS-VIII you are trying to save the configuration to. This is
normally caused by trying to modify one of several configurations for
different units saved on the same disk and choosing the wrong one. Load an
appropriate configuration for the desired model, or load the configuration
currently saved in the unit, and modify and save that.
