15. Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters
Once the AFS-16 is properly configured, parameters can be downloaded and saved as
an ASCII text file. Later, if the configuration is accidentally altered, the saved parameters
can be uploaded to automatically reconfigure the unit without the need to manually
assign each parameter.
Saved parameters can also be uploaded to other identical AFS-16 units, allowing rapid
set-up when several identical units will be configured with the same parameters.
The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any terminal emulation
program (e.g. HyperTerminal™, TeraTerm
©
, etc.), that allows downloading of ASCII files.

15.1. Sending Parameters to a File
1. Start your terminal emulation program and access the Text Interface command
mode using an account that permits Administrator level commands.
2. When the command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter]. The AFS-16
will prompt you to configure your terminal emulation program to receive an ASCII
download.

receiveaBinarydownloadandenablethe"Append"feature.
a) Set your terminal emulation program to receive an ASCII download, and the
specify a name for a file that will receive the saved parameters
(e.g. AFS-16.PAR).
b) Disable the Line Wrap function for your terminal emulation program. This will
prevent command lines from being broken in two during transmission.
3. When the terminal emulation program is ready to receive the file, return to the
AFS-16’s Save Parameter File menu, and press [Enter] to proceed. AFS-16
parameters will be saved on your hard drive in the file specified in Step 2 above.
4. The AFS-16 will send a series of XML command lines which specify currently
selected parameters. When the download is complete, press [Enter] to return to
the command prompt.
