7.6.2. Configuration
There are several tools to operate full unit configuration: Backup, Restore, and restore to Factory settings.
Backup
It is a good practice to make a configuration backup into an external file every time the configuration
is changed, to be able to restore the configuration into another unit in case of unit maintenance.
Backup and download
button triggers the web browser Download action. The specific behaviour
depends on your web browser personal settings - whether the configuration backup file is downloaded
to a predefined download folder or the file Download dialog to select destination folder is shown.
The configuration is stored in a text file (.json file type).
The backup configuration has the following limitations:
• The set of configuration data is limited by a user access privileges of the user who performed
the backup. The full configuration backup can only be issued by a user with the Administrator
(role_admin) access privileges. The same user access limit applies when the configuration is
restored (i.e. the full configuration Restore can only be issued by a user with the Administrator
(role_admin) access privileges).
• The configuration data are valid only for the given configuration version (CNF version - see below).
If the new firmware version brings the new configuration version,
the new configuration backup
file needs to be downloaded after the firmware upgrade.
Note
The actual unit configuration (inside the running unit) is converted to a new version auto-
matically during the firmware upgrade. No need to take care about that process.
Configuration version is stored in the parameter called “CNF version” which can be checked in the
menu: Diagnostics - Support - Advanced information.
Restore
The configuration can be restored from a backup file (containing the same configuration version
as the configuration version currently running in the unit - see above).
