Retrieving a Lantern’s Configuration
If you have a lantern that you know is configured
correctly, and you would like to copy this configuration
over to other lanterns, you have to retrieve the
lantern’s configuration and save it to your computer
(as a
DCF file).
To retrieve a device’s configuration:
1. Remove the lantern’s Bottom Cover and plug the
USB cable into the USB port.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to an
empty USB port on your computer.
3. Open 650DM on your computer. 650DM may take
a moment to find and connect to the lantern. The
lantern's settings will be copied to the
Settings
boxes

on the Bottom Bar. The
Configuration
screen appears.
5. In the
File Actions
area, click
Save Settings to
File…
. The
Save As
dialog box appears.

location. The file is saved in .DCF format. You can
now download this Configuration File to as many
lanterns as required.

the 650DM, and you want to retrieve
the lantern's settings, click the

Configuration File just so you have a record of how
the lantern is configured.

Control, D2N Transition, N2D Transition, Switch
Mode, User/Distributor Passcodes, Latitude,
Longitude, Transmissivity, and the Device Access
settings.
