● 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".
