Western Telematic CMS-16 Switch User Manual


 
Once you have configured the CMS to fit your application, parameters and options can be saved
to an ASCII text file on your PC. This allows you to quickly restore user-selected parameters if
the unit configuration is accidentally altered or deleted. Saved parameters can also be uploaded
to other CMS units. This allows rapid set-up when several units will be configured with identical
or similar parameters.
