Decoders have the ability to auto discover all endpoints on the network, export to .CSV file (all configurable parameters included),

make changes offline, upload .CSV file through embedded web page of encoder/decoder and push configuration to the network. No

external software required – mass configuration capabilities are built into the decoder embedded webpage UI.

Use the following command to enable Mass Configuration on a decoder. Mass Configuration should be used with extreme caution

and should only be enabled on 1 decoder in the system.

Example: CMD=START&UNIT.ID=ALL&UNIT.MASS_CONFIG=TRUE&CMD=END
