Configuration Files
The ACL configurations are stored in files on the PC hard disk and can be
sent to the ACL at any time.
When changing the configuration, changes are only made to the file on the
PC. The file must be sent to the ACL before the changes take effect.
Creating a New Configuration File
A new configuration file can be created by selecting File | New from the main
menu, This will create a new configuration based on one of a number of
predefined templates.
After a new configuration has been defined, it should be saved with a
meaningful name by selecting File | Save from the main menu. The file may
then be sent to the ACL by selecting Online | Send Configuration from the
main menu.
Alternatively a new file can be created by loading an existing configuration file
and saving it to a new file by selecting File | Save As from the main menu.
Opening an Existing File
Before an existing configuration file can be modified or sent to the ACL it must
first be opened.
To open a configuration file select File | Open from the main menu and select
the desired file.
Note The most recently used files appear at the bottom of the File menu,
which is often the easiest way to open a recently used file.
Sending the Configuration to the ACL
The currently open configuration file can be sent to the ACL by selecting
Online | Send Configuration from the main menu.
When a configuration file is sent to the ACL any changes are automatically
saved to the file.
Retrieving the Configuration from the ACL
The configuration can be retrieved from the ACL if necessary by selecting
Online | Get Configuration from the Online menu. However this is not normally
necessary unless the original file is not available on the PC.
