Managing the DeviceMaster
Using Driver Configuration Files
This subsection discusses how to create (save) and load driver configuration files.
You may want to create driver configuration files for these reasons:
• Save the driver configuration settings so that you can load them on similar
DeviceMasters to save configuration time
• Save the driver configuration settings because you need to remove a driver
version to install a new driver version and you want to reload the driver
configuration settings into the new driver
Device driver configuration files must be for the same model with the same port
density. For example, you cannot load a DeviceMaster PRO configuration file onto
a DeviceMaster RTS or a configuration file for a 32-port DeviceMaster RTS onto a
4-port DeviceMaster RTS.
Saving Driver
Configuration Files You must save the driver configuration file in portions:
• Device-level configuration parameters.
• Port configuration parameters. You must upload each port's configuration
parameters separately.
Saving Device-Level
Configuration Use the following procedure to create and save a configuration file.
1. If necessary, open the Comtrol Drivers Management Console using one of these
methods:
• Windows Control Panel; go to your Control Panel and click the Comtrol
Drivers Management Console.
• Shortcut; located under Start> Program Files> Comtrol> DeviceMaster>
Comtrol Drivers Management Console.
2. Depending on your operating system, you may need to click Yes to the Do you
want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? User
Account Control message.
3. Highlight the DeviceMaster for which you want to save the driver
configuration.
