In general, there are two possibilities for transferring configuration data between two

\ BCL 501
• Storage in a file and transfer using the webConfig tool
• Using the external parameter memory
10.4.1 Via the webConfig tool
With the webConfig tool, you can store entire configurations of the BCL 500
data carriers and transfer them from these to the BCL 500
This storage of configuration data is especially useful if you want to store basic configura-
tions which will require only minor changes.
In the webConfig tool, you store the configuration data via the buttons in the upper part of
the middle window of all submenus of the Configuration main menu.
