26 Introduction
Introduction
The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your DACS’s configuration
parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or imported, into a replace-
ment DACS—greatly speeding up the installation process should a DACS need replacing.
Note All actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.
To import or export a configuration, click on Import/Export under the Configuration Menu to display the
Import/Export main window (see figure 6).

Export Configuration
Note The exported configuration file is a text-format file. Do not try, how-
ever to edit the operating characteristics contained in the file.
Note The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as
they are stored in flash memory and may not be the current operating
parameters. To ensure that you export the most current parameters,
go to
HOME , then click on the Record Current Configuration button
under Immediate Actions .
