Follow these simple steps to upload a configuration file:
1. Access the CNT-IP-2 device webpage through your web browser or
FTP into the device.
2. When prompted, Login with username: admin and password: pass
(both lowercase).
3. Click on the ‘Upload’ button
4. The user is prompted for the files location on the users system.
5. Locate the desired file and click OK. Note that the file can be named
anything as long as it’s a valid configuration file for the system.
The system will overwrite the existing configuration with the new data and
reboot for the changes to take effect.
If you have uploaded a configuration from another system with a static IP
then you should power down or disconnect the original system before
rebooting the new one with the same configuration.
Failure to do so will cause IP address conflicts on your network with two (2)
or more devices attempting to use the same IP address.
Once the new system reboots you can login and change the IP and system
information on the new system.
NOTE The config.js file is JSON format. JSON is very particular
about syntax and spacing. It is not recommended to
manually edit the config file unless you are absolutely
sure what you are doing. Any mistakes in the file could
cause the system to be unstable. JSON files can be
validated at www.jsonlint.com
