1. Introduction The cloning of Lightware LW3 devices is a simple method that eliminates the need to repeatedly configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings. If the devices are installed in the same type of system multiple times, then it is enough to set up only one device to fit the user’s needs and then copy those settings to the others, thus saving time and resources.
About the backup file The backup file is a simple text file which contains LW3 protocol commands. The first line is the description and the further lines are the commands which will be executed during the restore process. The file can be viewed (and/or edited) by a simple text editor, e.g. Notepad. The exact content of the file is listed in section on page 7.
The restoring process is the following: Step 1. Run Lightware Device Controller software and connect to the device: UMX-TPS-TX100 series and HDMI-TPS-TX200 series: via Ethernet. MMX6x2-HT200 series: via USB or via Ethernet.
Info: The static IP address will be uploaded to the device if the referring line is in the backup file but will be ignored when DHCP is enabled. Info: The factory default IP address of the LW3 devices is static. Case 2 – Use static IP addresses Be aware that if the backup file is uploaded (restored) in multiple devices, it will cause an IP address conflict.
