Saving and Transferring Data

Connecting a personal computer to the
port allows you to save configuration data to the PC or
to download configuration data from the PC to a
Tracer AV . The following sections describe the
procedures for these save and transfer operations.

When configuring the
values set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the
SERIAL menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity
settings configured for the serial port on the PC. Set
the PRNDEST parameter to EDP.
To save all configuration data, place the
