Save XML Config File:
Any time you have made configuration changes that you want
to retain as permanent, you need to come here, select the file from the directory list,
and execute this Save action.
Create New XML Config File:
You have the option to create a totally new
configuration file. This is often suitable if you started with an existing configuration,
made changes, and want to save your changes without replacing the original
configuration. To create a new file, rather than selecting a file from the directory list,
simply type a new name into the Selected file window. The name cannot contain
spaces or special characters, and be sure to use the correct file suffix. Enter the name
and execute this action.
3.1.2 Select Startup Configuration
Select Boot Auto-Config File:
This is where you tell the Babel Buster what
configuration to automatically load upon startup. To set the Boot configuration, select
the XML file from the list, and execute this action. The name of the startup file, along
with a few other important things like the gateway's own IP address, are stored in a
different area of Flash that is not part of the file system.
When selecting a new Boot configuration file, it is a good idea to select the file, and
execute Load XML Config File. If there are errors, they will be displayed. If there are
errors in the file but you do not fix them, then the gateway will not fully start up the
next time it restarts. The web user interface will be available, but it will not be talking
to Modbus devices.
3.1.3 Delete a File
Remove a file from the Flash file system by selecting it from the list and executing the
Delete Selected File action.
3.1.4 Clear Configuration
Clear All Configuration:
Execute this action to completely wipe out all configuration.
This includes all Modbus TCP Device Maps. This will put you back to a "reset to
factory" condition with the exception that your IP address is left unchanged. (See
Appendix A, Section A.6, regarding forced hard configuration reset that includes IP
address and root password.) If you want to make the now empty configuration
permanent, select the file that is also selected as Boot configuration, and execute the
Save XML Config File action.
The other means of completely wiping out all saved configuration is to simply delete
the file named as the Boot configuration file, and then restart or power cycle the Babel
Buster. Upon restart, a new empty configuration file will be created automatically
(provided the default file name BootConfig.xml is being used as the boot file - see next
section).
