Configuring Routers
Copy Settings Page
Copy Settings Page
The ‘Copy Settings’ page allows you to copy control card data.
The upper portion of the page contains a table of control cards. This is the ‘From Device’ table.
When you copy, it is from the control card you select in this table.
The lower portion of the page contains the ‘Copy To’ table and this is where you select the target
of the copy. You can copy control card configuration to 3 kinds of targets:
• Another control card, in the same router or in another router (of the same type).
• To a virtual control card. A “virtual” control card does not correspond to an actual router. It
can be used for whatever purpose you find. A virtual control card might, for example, con-
tain a “master” configuration that you can copy to real control cards.
• An external file. Exporting a configuration to a file is a way to distribute the configuration or
to archive the configuration. Exporting a configuration is a necessity if you encounter prob-
lems configuring your router. If you report a problem, Grass Valley technical support will
want a copy of your configuration for diagnostic purposes. (Exported files are .zip files.)
The page has an ‘Import Configuration’ button with which you can import saved configura-
tions.
