Loading Port Configuration
Use the following procedure to load the configuration file for port-level settings for your DeviceMaster.
Note:
Device driver configuration files must be for the same model with the same port density. For example,
you cannot load a DeviceMaster PRO configuration file onto a DeviceMaster RTS or a configuration file
for a 32-port DeviceMaster RTS onto a 4-port DeviceMaster RTS.
