Save a Device Configuration (.xml) File

When you have a configured a specific device using the Protocol Converter’s interface, you

can save that device configuration and load it to another device of the same type. This

procedure may not work in all cases; some manufacturers use the same register set across

different models of the same type of device, and others do not.

To save a device configuration:

1

Click the Device Configuration link in the top bar.

The Device Configuration web page displays. Locate the configuration box for the device

whose configuration you want to save.

Click the Download XML link in that device’s configuration box. Depending on your

browser, take one of the following courses of action:

The contents of the file are opened in a browser window. You must copy and paste the

contents into a text editor (such as Notepad), then save the file with an .xml extension.

A dialog box opens to display the file name that is automatically assigned to the device.

You can choose to open or save the file. Save the file.

When you have saved the .xml file, it can be uploaded to other devices of the same type.
