Note
Firmware update
Note that updating the firmware can take a while.
• No input during activation
During activation until the gateway restarts, the WBM is not locked.
Do not change the WBM page during this time.
• No switch off of the gateway
Do not switch off the gateway during activation of the firmware. This avoids the
occurrence of inconsistent statuses.
4.11.4

Saving

In this tab, you can save the configuration data of the gateway in a configuration file and load
it again.
Configuration files have the name "<date and time>.dump.sql".
You cannot edit configuration files because they are encrypted. If encrypted parts are
changed, the configuration file is rejected when you try to download it.
Saving the configuration file on the PC is useful in the following cases:
● You want to use the configuration data of the gateway for another gateway.
● You want to use multiple gateways with similar configuration data.
● In case of replacement
You download the configuration data from the PC to another gateway and reconfigure only
the parameters that are different, if necessary.
Note
No saving of certificates
The following data is not saved when saving a configuration file:
• Certificates
• WBM user settings
Configuration backup
● Configuration file
After a configuration file saved on the PC is selected with the "Browse" button, the file
name is displayed here.
● Browse
Searches the file system of the PC for a configuration file saved there that is intended to
be loaded on the gateway.
