● Copy internal Configuration to C-PLUG and Restart
The configuration in the internal flash memory of the switch is copied to the C-PLUG and
this is followed by a restart.
Use case:
The IE Switch X-200 starts up with a C-PLUG inserted. This contains a configuration that
differs from the IE Switch X-200 or a configuration containing errors. With this function,
you can overwrite the content of the C-PLUG with the original device configuration.
● Copy default Configuration to C-PLUG and Restart
This stores the configuration with all factory default values on the C-PLUG. This is
followed by a restart during which the IE Switch X-200 restarts with these default values.
● Clean C-PLUG (Low Level Format, Configuration lost)
Deletes all data from the C-PLUG and triggers low-level formatting. This is not followed
by an automatic restart and the device displays an error. You can clear this error status
by restarting or removing the C-PLUG after turning off the basic device. To retain the
configuration of the basic device even after deleting the C-PLUG, the configuration data
stored on the C-PLUG is transferred to the internal memory of the basic device.
● Continue without C-PLUG
If the C-PLUG is removed from a device, an error message is displayed after the device
restarts. In this case, you can select the "Continue without C-PLUG" option to change the
device to the mode without a C-PLUG.
Your selection is then adopted when you click "Modify".
