"Device"
Selects the storage device. Per default, if no external USB storage
device is connected, the storage device is the "Internal Storage",
which is the primary switch unit's flash memory in the SD card slot. If
there is an external USB storage device, it becomes the default stor-
age device.
To save the file on an external USB storage device, connect it to any
of the switch unit's USB ports (front or rear), and select it by its <devi-
cename>, for example "MY-USBSTICK".
After saving, before you remove this USB storage device, return to
the same "Export Paths" dialog. Then once more select the external
USB storage device in the "Device" selection field and click the eject
button on the right-hand side of it:
The firmware brings up a message to notify you that "The device
'<devicename>' can now be safely removed."
Click "Close" to confirm this message, then remove the USB storage
device.
On your USB storage device, the folder and filename (with exten-
sion
.path
) of this file is
"
<Drive>:\ospdata\MyPathConfigs.path
".
Here,
<Drive>
is the drive letter of the removable medium.
"Filename"
Specifies the filename of your path definitions file. In the example
above, the filename is
MyPathConfigs
.
Remote command:
ROUTe:PATH:EXPort
MMEM:STORe:STATe
Import Paths ← Export/Import Paths
Access: "Path Switching" > "Context Menu" > "Export/Import Paths" > "Import Paths"
Prerequisite: the data of a previously saved
Loads a set of path definitions from a selected file into the switch unit’s internal volatile
memory.
To load the selected file, click the "OK" button in the top right corner of the dialog.
Note:
Risk of losing settings. You can lose existing path definitions, if you overwrite
these paths in the switch unit’s internal volatile memory by importing different path defi-
nitions.
To avoid losing current path definitions, consider the following options before you
import a different set of paths:
●
to save the existing path definitions for later reference
●
Use the option "Keep existing" (see below)
