7. Saving and Restoring
Configuration Parameters
After the NPS-2HD 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 NPS-2HD 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
NPS-2HD command mode using the System Level
Password.
2. When the NPS command prompt appears, type /DL and
press [Enter]. The NPS 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. NPS.PAR).
3. When the communications program is ready to receive the
file, return to the NPS command mode, and press [Enter]
to proceed.
4. The NPS will send a series of ASCII command lines which
specify the currently selected NPS parameters.
