8.2 Configuring Multiple Devices
When configuring a number of Device Servers identically, it is useful to create a template
setup record. The setup record can then be sent to the “target” Device Servers from a
“master” Device Server via “cut and paste” or UDP (see Network Configuration using UDP
on page 8-1).
Device Servers use a 120-byte setup record in Intel Hex format. This format facilitates the
transfer of binary data using ASCII characters. See Setup Records on page 8-7 and The Intel
Hex Format on page 8-5 for information about setup records and converting them to Intel
Hex format.

8.2.1 Acquiring a Valid Setup Record
There are a number of ways to acquire a valid setup record:
Copy the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via Monitor Mode
(easiest method).
Request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via another Device
Server on the network.
Build the setup record in software.
From a host PC, request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via
UDP.
To copy the setup record of a properly configured Device Server:
1. Configure a “master” Device Server with the desired parameters.
2. Enter Monitor Mode on the master Device Server (see Monitor Mode on page 7-1).
3. At the prompt, enter GC followed by a carriage return. The Device Server will respond
with its setup record in Intel Hex format.
4. Copy the setup record into a text file and save it for future use.
