USB Configuration Cloning
The SRCM has USB port built in for the purpose of duplicating configurations
when multiple units are being setup with similar configurations. To use this
function, a USB 2.0 thumb drive of capacity 256 megabytes or larger must be
used. The thumb drive must have at least 100K or free memory available. The
USB port should only be accessed by qualified personnel.
Setra recommends the Kingston DataTraveler 112, 4GB (minimum) flash drive
along with the aid of a short mini-USB adapter cable from Tensility Internation-
al Corporation, P/N 10-00003. No PC is required.

To access the USB port, first remove the faceplate cover and set it aside. The
USB port is located on the right side of the touch-screen display driver board,
and is accessed by removing the security screw and flipping up the display
housing. A mini-USB 5-pin Male to USB A Female cable (from Tensility Inter-
national Corporation, P/N 10-00003) is required to connect a standard USB 2.0
compliant thumb-drive to the SRCM USB port.
To make use of the cloning feature, first setup one SRCM with a configura-
tion that represents most other SRCM units that will be used during installa-
tion. Configure the “master” unit with all parameters needed, including alarm
thresholds, condition banners, blinking operations, I/O configuration and so on.
Make sure the Save & Exit function is used to properly save your configuration.
This “master” setup will then be downloaded to the thumb drive and for use
uploading to other units.
