Configuration Management

The Configuration Management menu has the following options:

Save the configuration: use this option to create a configuration file to be used to save and apply the configuration on the same device.
Backup for duplication: use this option to create a backup file which can be used to configure one or more Com’X devices. The backup file can reduce configuration time when a common system configuration is used for several Com’X devices being installed.
Apply the configuration: use this option to apply a configuration file saved using the above options. Depending on which option is used, some parameters will be set to a default during the restore process as detailed below. You can apply the configuration from:

Saved configuration file generated from the same device: The DSP parameters saved within the configuration file will only be applied if the backup and restore device is the same.

Saved duplicate backup configuration file generated from a different device: This will default the Device and Site names. The device name field is set to Com’X 210/510_xxyyzz, where xxyyzz represents the last three hexadecimal octets of the device MAC address, and the site name field is left blank.

NOTE: When Com’X is connected to DSP:

Do not restore a backup configuration file from a Com’X device which is not connected to DSP to a device connected to DSP.
The DSP parameters saved within the configuration file will only be applied if the backup and restore device is the same.
If configuration is restored on a different Com’X device, then the DSP configuration on the restored device does not change.
Restoring the configuration file from another Com’X is not possible remotely through DSP.
