6.10. Configuration cloning (Backup tab) The configuration cloning of Lightware LW3 devices is a simple method that eliminates the need to repeatedly configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings. If the devices are installed in the same type of system multiple times then it is enough to set up only one device to fit the user’s needs and then copy those settings to the others, thus... -
Page 65: Network Settings
The cloning is successful when the backup file is downloaded from the same type of source device as the destination device. E.g. MMX6x2-HT200 contains fewer ports than HT220. If the backup file is downloaded from the HT220 and uploaded to an HT200 matrix, that would result in errors when checking and uploading. -
