Valcom VIP-102B IP Solutions Setup Tool Reference Manual Ver 6.3.0.0 Page 18
File Menu
The File Menu provides options for saving and retrieving configuration information, defining options for the overall
operation of the program and producing configuration reports.
Configuration Snapshots are used primarily to capture the current configuration details into a file. The Snapshot
may contain actual Valcom IP devices and/or virtual devices. Snapshot files of systems can be used for
documentation purposes, technical support and training. This option is especially useful to provide configuration
details for technical support and to create a backup file of the system configuration. Saved configuration data
may be used to program a new device by transferring programming from one device to another.
A Snapshot of the current state of the VIP-102B tool may be taken at any time. Using the
Save Snapshot As
option from the File menu will invoke the standard file dialog box to input the name and location of the saved file.
The saved file will contain all of the configuration details in the VIP-102B tool at that time.
