This dialog box lets you open multiple saved configurations concurrently. Single or multiple
configurations can be opened, viewed, edited and saved.
NOTE:
Create a saved version of the configuration and edit the saved version to minimize the risk
of losing current edits. After the edits are completed and saved, then activate the configuration.
Accessing Stored Configurations
When editing saved configurations, the matrix displays depressed and shaded cells when the
matrix cell does not match the saved configuration.
The IPL file is a special saved configuration file. This configuration is used if the switch is in the IPL
process. If the Active=Saved option is checked, then the IPL file cannot be edited and saved if
Active=Saved. When the IPL is opened, the file dynamically updates if the active configuration
changes while the Active=Saved option was enabled.
