Managing the DeviceMaster
Using Driver Configuration Files
This subsection discusses how to create (save) and load driver configuration files. You may want to create
driver configuration files for these reasons:
•
Save the driver configuration settings so that you can load them on similar DeviceMasters to save
configuration time
•
Save the driver configuration settings because you need to remove a driver version to install a new driver
version and you want to reload the driver configuration settings into the new driver
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.
Saving Driver Configuration Files
You must save the driver configuration file in portions:
•
Device-level configuration parameters.
•
Port configuration parameters. You must upload each port's configuration parameters separately.
