Import/Export Presets
Use the
Import / Export Presets
page to manage the Preset database in the
iVAM2-2. You may export the Preset database onto a USB flash drive or the
computer hard drive for security backup purposes or as a means to transfer it to
another iVAM2-2. Likewise, it can be used to import a Preset database from a flash
drive or the computer hard drive into the iVAM2-2. In this way, using a USB flash
drive, a Preset configuration may be only devised once and then duplicated into all
of the iVAM2-2 units in a system, saving significant effort.
The iVAM2-2 will create version numbers for the each set of Presets. Refer to
Figure 4-18. You may also change these version numbers, using the Preset Change
Field. They allow you to quickly resolve questions about which Presets on various
units are the most up to date. They will also allow you to determine whether
Presets have been modified. If the version number displayed contains the suffix "-
dirty" then at least one Preset has been changed in some way.
