Virtual Configuration"
Prerequisite: the data of a previously saved
Loads a configuration of virtual frames (primary and secondary switch units) and mod-
ules from a selected file into the switch unit’s internal volatile memory. This feature
facilitates transferring configurations from one setup to another.
To load the selected file, click the "OK" button in the top right corner of the dialog.
The following message comes up: "You have selected a virtual configuration file to
import. The current virtual configuration will be lost! Do you really want to proceed?"
This message warns you of the following loss:
Note:
Risk of losing settings. Your import overwrites the current virtual configuration in
the switch unit’s internal volatile memory with the configuration from the imported file.
To avoid losing the current virtual configuration, consider saving it for later reference by
, before you import a different virtual configuration.
If you are sure that you want to proceed, confirm with "OK", otherwise "Cancel" the
import.
"Device"
Selects the switch unit's "Internal Storage" (= default) or an external
USB storage device. An external USB storage device is only availa-
ble, if it is connected to one of the USB ports on the front or rear
panel of the R&S
OSP.
To remove an external USB storage device, use the eject button and
proceed as described in the section
"Export Virtual Configuration"
"Filename"
Selects the file you want to import. The firmware offers only suitable
configuration files with the extension "
.virtual
", although this
extension is not displayed.
If there is no "
.virtual
" file in the selected storage device, you can-
not select a filename. Instead, the following message is shown as in
the screenshot above: "There are no import files available on the
selected storage device."
