Saving and Reading Network Configuration Files
Once the device parameters (Master parameters) settings have been com-
pleted, they can be saved as a network configuration file. This section explains
how to save and retrieve network configuration files.
Saving the device parameters and network configuration in a network configura-
tion file can save a great deal of time if a Unit has to be replaced, because the
device parameters can be written to the new device and the network can be
restored immediately.
