Western Telematic IPS-15 Switch User Manual


 
5.4. Save Configuration Parameters
The IPS-15 offers two methods for saving parameters; Saving to
Flash Memory, and Saving to an ASCII File.
Saving parameters to flash memory ensures that your user-defined
configuration will remain intact if power to the IPS Master Unit is
temporarily interrupted. After the configuration menus have been
used to change parameters, the IPS will prompt you to save
parameters before exiting from Command Mode. At this point, the
IPS offers the options to Save parameters to flash, continue without
saving, or revert to the previously saved parameters.
Saving Parameters to an ASCII file allows you to create a "backup"
of your currently defined configuration. As described in Section 7,
this provides quick recovery in the event that the unit is accidentally
reset to default parameters, and also allows you to copy parameters
to other IPS-15 units, when several Master Units need to be
configured with the same parameters.
Notes:
·
After new Parameters have been applied, the IPS will
display a "Save" prompt. In the Web Browser
Interface, this prompt appears when you leave the
configurations menus. In the Text Interface, the
"Save" prompt appears when you disconnect from the
unit. At this point, you have the option of saving new
parameters to flash memory, continuing without
saving, or reverting to previously saved parameters.
·
If parameters have not been saved, and if power to the
Master Unit is interrupted, newly defined parameters
will be lost. When power is restored, the unit will
then be configured with the previously saved
parameters.
