Using the AutoConfiguration Adapter (ACA)

The ACAs are devices for saving the configuration data of a device. In the
case of a device failure, an ACA enables the configuration data to be
transferred easily by means of a substitute device of the same type.
Note: If you replace a device with DIP switches, please ensure that the DIP
switch settings are identical.
Storing the current configuration data in the ACA:
You have the option of transferring the current device configuration,
including the SNMP password, on the ACA and the flash memory in the
"Save" frame using the "to Switch / Save configuration" option.
Transferring the configuration data from the ACA:

configuration data of the ACA and saves it permanently in the flash
memory. If the connected ACA does not contain any valid data, for
example, if the delivery state is unchanged, the device loads the data from
the flash memory.
Note: Before loading the configuration data from the ACA, the device
compares the password in the device with the password in the ACA
configuration data.
The device loads the configuration data if
