The Web Configurator
Introduction
Visiting the website
you can access a web tool that allows you to:
•
Load an exported configuration file and vis
ualise it on the web (see chapter “Backup/Restore
settings”
to know more about this function)
•
Create a new configuration from scratch
•
Save a configuration file that can be restored into a Link controller using the “Backup/Restore”
function, placing the file on a USB memory stick or directly on the Link memory using a USB cable
and PC
(see chapter “Backup/Restore settings” to know more about this function)
Note1
: the name of the file is particularly important. The file is always named as “EXPORT_xx.txt” where xx is
a configuration number between 0 and 99. The file name should always be formatted as required, with 1
digit between 0 and 9, and 2 digits between 10 and 99, so it can be found by the device when restoring a
configuration.
Examples of file name: EXPORT_0.txt, EXPORT_5.txt, EXPORT_67.txt
Note2:
the file saved from the configuration tool is compatible with both the IP and RS version of Link IO.
Settings that are not applicable for the destination unit will be simply disregarded.

a expansion for example, a notification will appear on this top bar with the warning description and a link to
the setting to correct.
