Import/export C300 Controller configuration

You can copy a C300 Controller configuration from another system database using the
Export and Import function in Control Builder.
ATTENTION
It is recommended that you use the ERDB Database Migration tool rather
than Import/Export for moving hardware definitions like C300, FTEB, and
Series C FIM.
Use "Export/Import" only to move or copy control strategies (CMs & SCMs) from one
system to another.
When using the export function the Device Index information for the C300 is exported,
but not the controller's IP Address. This enables import of the C300's configuration into
a different server cluster, and allows the C300 to use a different IP Address based upon
that server cluster's base IP Address.

Reset Device Index and IP address of a controller

Once set, a C300 Controller retains the Device Index (determined by the FTE NUMBER
rotary switches on the IOTA) and its assigned IP Address in the controller's non-volatile
memory.
You can change the Device Index and obtain another IP Address for the controller upon
startup. For instance, when a duplicate Device Index is discovered on the same FTE
