Configuration
(Submenu)
The Configuration menu provides access to these options when
the Device List pane is active.
• If you click the
submenu item and you have previously
saved a Comtrol Ethernet attached product configuration file
(from the same family), you can load portions of the
configuration that you select in the Field Selection pop up and
apply it to a selected Comtrol Ethernet attached product or
Comtrol Ethernet attached products.
Device specific information such as Device ID (device name, MAC
address, model, and software version) are not loaded into the
selected Comtrol Ethernet attached products.
• If you click the
submenu item, PortVision DX saves the
current configuration of a Comtrol Ethernet attached product in
a file, which must be from the same family. For example, you
cannot load a configuration file for a DeviceMaster on a
RocketLinx.
You can click one or multiple items from a list of properties
available in the configuration file.
If you are deploying multiple Comtrol Ethernet attached
products that share settings, you can save a configuration file
after configuring the first Comtrol Ethernet attached product and
load the configuration information into the remaining Comtrol
Ethernet attached products at one time. Configuration files are
saved as .dc files.
• If you click Reset to Factory Default values for your product

You can refer to the
information about the default values.
