CHAPTER 7: Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters
7.2 Restoring Saved Parameters
This section describes how to use ProComm to send saved parameters to the IPS.
NOTE
Parameters saved to an ASCII file can only be restored via the text
interface. This procedure can’t be performed via the Web browser
interface.
1. Start your communications program and access the IPS command mode via
the text interface as described in
Section 5.2.2
.
2. If the password prompt displays, type in your system password and press
Enter
.
3. Configure your communications program to upload an ASCII text file.
4. Upload the file with the saved parameters. If necessary, type in the file name
and directory path.
5. When the upload is complete, terminate the communications program’s
upload mode.
NOTE
The current on/off status of each IPS plug is not saved or restored.
However, the selected default on/off setting for each plug is saved and
restored.
When the configuration file is sent to the IPS via Telnet, the IPS’s IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address can’t be altered.
At this point, saved parameters should be restored to the IPS. Check the Plug
Status screen, General Parameters menu, Plug Parameters menu, and Network
Parameters menu to make certain that saved parameters are accurately restored.
