Configuring Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 from a Remote Host
This section discusses remote configuration, that is, configuring Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 from a
remote host and then downloading the configuration file to Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4.
When To Use Remote Configuration
Typically, you use remote configuration when you have several Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4s with
similar configurations and want to keep a master configuration on a remote host, from which you
can easily create variations for downloading to individual Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4s.
Rules for Editing a Configuration file
Here are some rules for editing a configuration file on a remote host:
• Edit the file with any text editor.
• Each line of the file must start with a set command, such as set user or set line. In other words, do
not let commands wrap to the next line if your editor supports this function.
Copying the Configuration File to a Host
This section describes how to copy the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 configuration file to a remote
host for editing.
Related Information
See the cpconf command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
Starting Point
This procedure assumes that you
• Have an existing configuration on the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 that you want to copy to a
remote host for editing
• Are logged in to Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 as root, which is a requirement for using the cpconf
command to copy the configuration file to a host
Procedure
1. Create a file with appropriate write permissions on the remote host.
2. Ensure that TFTP is running on the remote host.
3. Supply a cpconf command with a tohost field that specifies the following:
• The IP address of the target host
• The name of the file that will hold the configuration.
Example
cpconf tohost=199.250.121.12:cnfg-fle
