After a remote restart a Watchdog reset alarm is shown on the device' home page.
This is a side-effect of the remote restart procedure and the alarm shall be ignored
and cleared.

Backup and restoring of configuration settings

The MODG-100 allows configuration settings to be uploaded onto a PC.
This is a beneficial for archiving purposes but also allows easy deployment of similar
devices by the means of loading settings from a previously stored reference device.
Figure 5.11: Backup/Restore page
To store the configuration settings on your PC, click on the Configuration sub-menu
and then click on the Backup/Restore menu entry. Then click on Backup. Your web
browser will open a file download dialog which allows you to save the configuration file
on your PC. The file name of the configuration file reflects the model name and the serial
number and has the .config extension.
In case the configuration is password protected, the username and password will
not be stored in the configuration file!
To restore the settings from a configuration file, click on the Browse button and select
a .config file matching the model of your device. Then click on Restore.
There are two options to restore a previously saved configuration set:
Restore IP Settings un-checked
Default. All but the IP settings are restored. This option is useful when device settings
shall be duplicated onto another device which will operate on the same network and
hence requires its own distinct IP settings.
Restore IP Settings checked
The complete settings are restored. This option is useful if a device is replaced with
a new device and the new device should inherit the previously set IP address.
