Module replacement
NOTICE
Backing up the configuration
Prior to replacing the module, make sure that you back up the configuration stored on the
reader so that you can transfer this to the newly connected reader following module
replacement.
NOTICE
Loading a configuration
Note that you cannot transfer any user profiles and passwords to other readers using the
configuration file. After loading the configuration file into a new reader, you may need to
enable authentication and create new user profiles and passwords.
To back up the current configuration of the reader and to restore it on the newly connected
reader following module replacement, you have the following options:
•
Using the TIA Portal (STEP 7 Basic / Professional as of V17) in a STEP 7 project
•
Using the WBM on your PC
These alternative methods are described below.
