The User can load a pre-configured DNP database

to select a configuration file. The User needs to select
an appropriate configuration file for loading into web
interface.
All configuration data will be available in the file will be load-
ed into the web interface and displayed for the User for fur-
ther operations. File data shall be loaded automatically into
the individual sections for each category. For example, if a
file has analog data (Object 30, 32), then it will be loaded
into the Analog Input section and if the file has binary coun-
ter data ( Object 20, 21, 22, 23) then it will be loaded into
the Counter input section of the web interface.
2. Save Config
When the User completes configuration of the DNP3
database, the User may wish to save the configuration
into a file on computer for future use and reference. By
using “Save Config” option on the web interface, the
User can save it on computer. The User will be prompt-
ed to select a location and provide a file name for the
