After configuring the EISC, the new parameters
will apply, but only so long as the switch has
power. If it is desired to retain settings in
EEPROM
for use after a power interruption, choose the
“Save Settings to Non-Volatile Memory” option in
the Setup pull-down menu. The message
shown in Figure 29 confirms the action.
To save the EISC configuration to a file for later use, it
is first necessary to disconnect the EISC from the
EISC Configurator. Once this has been done, choose
the “Save As …” option in the File pull-down menu. A
standard “Save As” pop-up window will then allow the
user to create a file name for the saved file. The file
type will be *.eic.

Saving and Retrieving Configuration Files
Figure 30 —
Saving or Opening a File
A saved configuration file can be retrieved and
downloaded to the EISC. Once this is done, the
retrieved parameters are implemented automatically.
Retrieve the file by choosing the “Open…” option
under the File pull-down menu. Once the file is
opened, the title bar of the EISC Configurator
window will report the file name and the Setup
pull-down menu will become active. At this point,
the retrieved file can be modified before it is
downloaded to the EISC. Modifiable options are
indicated as active in the Setup pull-down menu.
Figure 31 — Retrieved File
Note: A retrieved file will NOT be retained in the switch EEPROM unless the user chooses
the “Save Settings to Non-Volatile Memory” option in the Setup pull-down menu.
