Figure 37. CONFIG SHOW Command with a New Active Master File
If you were to issue the CONFIG SAVE command at this point, the settings
in the “mcf24.cfg” file would be overwritten by the current settings of the
modules. Basically, the settings in the active configuration file would be
replaced by the settings of the master configuration file used during the
last reset, in this case “unit12.cfg,” in addition to any changes that were
make since the last reset or power cycle. And, in some situations, this
might be the goal.
But if the goal is to configure the modules with the settings in “mcf24.cfg,”
you issue the CONFIG RUN command so that the management module
configures the modules with the settings in the file. If, after issuing the
CONFIG RUN command, you again entered the CONFIG SHOW
command, the information in Figure 38 is displayed.
