Tftp - Siemens SIMATIC NET SCALANCE W760 Series Configuration Manual

If several devices are to receive the same configuration and the IP addresses are assigned
using DHCP, the effort for configuration can be reduced by saving and reading in the
configuration data.
Follow the steps below to reuse configuration data:
1. Save the configuration data of a configured device on your PC.
2. Download this configuration file to all other devices you want to configure.
3. If individual settings are necessary for specific devices, these must be made online on the
relevant device.
Note that the configuration data is coded when it is saved. This means that you cannot edit
the files with a text editor.

TFTP

Loading and saving data via a TFTP server
On this page, you can configure the TFTP server and the file names. The WBM also allows
you to store device data in an external file on your client PC or to load such data from an
external file from the PC to the devices. This means, for example, that you can also load new
firmware from a file located on your client PC.
Note
Incompatibility with predecessor versions
During the installation of a previous version, the configuration data and log files can be lost.
In this case, the device starts up with the factory settings after the firmware has been
installed.
Note
Configuration files and trial mode/Automatic Save mode
In Automatic Save mode, the data is saved automatically before the configuration files
(ConfigPack and Config) are transferred.
In Trial mode, although the changes are adopted, they are not saved in the configuration
files (ConfigPack and Config). Use the "Write Startup Config" button on the "System >
Configuration" WBM page to save changes in the configuration files.
