downgrade version.
config

Supported as of release 2.4.0.

Specify the name of the configuration file containing device settings.

. See

This file is required if any macros are used in the device
configuration file "config.txt."

match

Specify a match condition for identifying a line or a EMX device in
the device configuration file "devices.csv."
The option's value comprises one word and one number as
explained below:
 The word prior to the colon is an identification property, which is
either
serial
for serial number or
mac
for MAC address.
 The number following the colon indicates a column in the
devices.csv
file.
For example,
mac:7
instructs the EMX to search for the MAC
address in the 7th column of the "devices.csv" file.

The default value is
serial:1
, making the EMX search for its serial
number in the first column.

This option is used only if the "device_list" option has been set.
collect_diag

If this option is set to
true
, the diagnostic data of the EMX is
downloaded to the USB drive.

The filename of the diagnostic data written into the USB drive varies,
depending on the EMX firmware version:
 Filename prior to version 3.0.0:
diag_<unit-serial>.zip
, where
<unit-serial> is the serial number of the EMX.
 Filename as of version 3.0.0:
diag_<unit-serial>.tgz
