Saving Settings Files
Saving BE2000E settings to a file for uploading to other BE2000E units saves setup time when
configuring multiple units to the same configuration. A settings file can also be created in BESTCOMS-
BE2000E without being connected to a BE2000E. The settings of the desired screens can be changed
and these settings can then be saved to a file. Once a settings file is created, it can be edited using any
text editing software, and then saved for uploading.
A settings file is created by clicking the save icon or by clicking File on the menu bar and then clicking
Save. When the file command is given, a dialog box asks if you want to save the current settings into a
BE2000E data file. Clicking Yes displays a Save As dialog box where the settings are assigned a file
name and then saved. All BE2000E settings files are automatically given a
*.BE2 extension by
BESTCOMS-BE2000E.
Uploading Settings Files
A BE2000E settings file downloaded from a BE2000E or created within BESTCOMS-BE2000E can be
uploaded to multiple BE2000E units. Only a BE2000E settings file with a .BE2 extension can be uploaded
to a BE2000E unit. Before uploading a file, communication must be initiated with the BE2000E that is to
receive the settings. Refer to the paragraphs under the headings Starting the BESTCOMS-BE2000E
Application.
Caution
Before uploading a settings file, remove operating power from the
BE2000E, disconnect the field wiring from terminals F+ and F
–, and
reapply operating power to the BE2000E.
The upload process is started by clicking the open icon or clicking File on the menu bar and then clicking
Open. A dialog box is then displayed (Figure 38) reminding you that the BE2000E should be off-line
before uploading settings. Clicking Yes loads the settings into BE2000E memory.

Password Protection
Password protection guards against unauthorized changing or viewing of BE2000E settings. A single
password protects all BE2000E settings. The BE2000E is delivered with a default password of OEM.
Changing the password provides security against unauthorized changes to settings. Once changed, the
password should be stored in a secure location. If the user-defined password is lost or forgotten,
BESTCOMS-BE2000E must be reloaded to restore the default password.
Changing the Password
Note
A password change can be made only after communication between
BESTCOMS-BE2000E and the BE2000E is established.
