Chapter 9. Configuring the Repeater — 161
NOTE:
When creating a backup file, be aware that if you used a Network Monitor login to create Repeater
Configuration (.rcf) files, then the files include IDs and passwords.
The Craft software saves the Repeater Configuration (.rcf) file in the RepeaterNet program
directory.
