Configuration License PLUG (CLP)
When a CLP with no data (default setting) is plugged into a device, the device
automatically saves its configuration data on the CLP.
If a CLP with data is plugged into a device, the device automatically adopts the
configuration installed on the CLP.
Changes to the configuration are saved on the CLP and in the internal memory.
The device checks every second if a CLP is inserted. If the device detects the CLP
has been removed, it restarts automatically.
Errors detected in the CLP data and/or file system (e.g. incompatible data,
incorrect operation, or malfunctions) are communicated to users via SINEC OS.
