Notes on Saving and Restoring Parameters
This section provides brief operational notes when saving and restoring parameters:
• The Restore Configuration Wizard dialog box includes the Hide invalid destinations
check box. Selecting this check box hides cards in the Select Destination list that are not
applicable based on the card type you selected to restore and the software of that card.
Only those cards that are the same type and compatible software versions will be listed.
• The Select Destination list displays the frame and cards in the same format as seen in the
Tree View. For example, if the frame node is expanded in the Tree View, the same node is
expanded in the Select Destination list.
• You can select all devices in a single frame by selecting the checkbox beside the frame
entry in the Select Destination list.
