To configure multiple devices with a single config file:
1. Configure the first SMD 101 (see
2.
Click Save to place the configuration file in a location accessible from each SMD 101.
The drop-down list provides two options:
• Box Config — Select this option to save all settings including channel presets
but excluding network settings from both the Configuration and Advanced
Configuration pages.
• IP Config — Select this option to save all network related settings. The file contains
additional reference information such as the device name, date, and time, but only
the network settings are restored.
The files are saved to the host computer downloads folder and also saved to the SMD 101
local memory nortxe-backup folder.
NOTE: Using Firefox or Chrome, the config files are automatically named box.cfg and
ip.cfg and saved to both the SMD 101 local memory (in the nortxe-backup folder
(and to the host computer downloads folder (or designated location if changed). From
the host computer, they can be renamed or moved to a folder selected by the user
with a standard file browser.
To upload a configuration file to the same or another SMD 101:
1. Select a configuration file to upload: — This field displays the location of the
configuration file for cloning a SMD 101, or to reload a custom configuration for a
specific task. Click Browse to locate and select the file from the host computer or local
memory.
2. Upload: — Click Upload to begin the configuration change with the selected file.
Cancel stops the update and clears the Browse field.
NOTE: The configuration file contains the host name. Host names must be unique on
the local network. The default host name is SMD-101-XX-YY-ZZ where XX-YY-ZZ are
the last three pairs of characters from the unit MAC address. Ensure that the host
name is unique on the local network after uploading a new configuration file.
After a configuration file (box.cfg or ip.cfg) is uploaded, the SMD 101 automatically
restarts and applies the changes. The process takes about a minute.
