7. Saving and Restoring
Configuration Parameters
After the RPC-4840N has been properly configured, parameters
can be downloaded and saved as an ASCII text file. Later, if the
configuration is accidentally altered, the file with 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 RPC-4840N
units. This allows rapid set-up when several units will be
configured with the same parameters.
The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any
terminal emulation program (e.g. ProComm, Crosstalk,
Hyperterminal, etc.), which allows downloading of ASCII files.
7.1. Sending Parameters to a File
1. Start your communications program and access the
RPC command mode using the System Level Password.
2. When the RPC> command prompt appears, type /DL and
press [Enter]. The RPC will prompt you to prepare your
communications program. Set up your communications
program to receive an ASCII download, and specify a
name for the file that will receive the saved parameters
(e.g. RPC.PAR).
3. When the communications program is ready to receive the
file, return to the RPC command mode, and press [Enter]
to proceed.
4. The RPC-4840N will send a series of ASCII command
lines which specify the currently selected parameters.
