Utilities - Back Up and Restore

 

The backup and restore utilities allow a textual file that contains all of the RTU32M 

‘personality’ information (all settings except for the 

logic application) to be transferred from/to the RTU.  

The file is named ‘rtu32_settings.dat’ and contains all of the configuration 

parameters used in the web pages (stored in a tab delimited format). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If ‘Backup Settings’ is selected the RTU will generate a new rtu32_settings.dat file an

d the file will be uploaded from the RTU by the 

browser interface and stored in your PCs default download location. 
 
To restore a backup to the RTU32M

, use the ‘Choose file’ 

button to browse and select the rtu32_settings.dat file that you wish to send 

to t

he RTU.  Then select ‘Restore Settings’ to send the selected file to the RTU and the RTU will be restarted.

 

 

Note: the Backup and Restore page is disabled in the early release firmware for the RTU32M (available 3Q 2018).
