in the RTU number to copy from text box.

I-IP100AC and I-IP100DC, select Informer-IP100.
3. Click Copy.
The following message box appears.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Save to save the current settings and exit this screen. If there are any errors in
your data, an error message box appears.
The Configure RTU General Parameters dialog box is now active.
NOTE: It is necessary to send the Program block command to the RTU before
changes will take effect at the respective RTU.
6. Click Send.
7. Click Quit to quit the RTU Configuration screen without saving. Configuration
parameters remain as they were when the Configuration screen was opened.
