Using Driver Configuration Files

8.6. Using Driver Configuration Files

This subsection discusses how to create (save) and load driver configuration files. You may want to create
driver configuration files for these reasons:
• Save the driver configuration settings so that you can load them on similar ICDM-RX/TCPs to save
configuration time
• Save the driver configuration settings because you need to remove a driver version to install a new driver
version and you want to reload the driver configuration settings into the new driver
Device driver configuration files must be for the same model with the same port density. For example, you
cannot load an ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-DIN (single serial port model) configuration file onto an ICDM-RX/
TCP-4DB9/2RJ45-DIN (four serial port model).

8.6.1. Saving Driver Configuration Files

1. If necessary, open the Windows Drivers Management Console located under Pepperl+Fuchs
Comtrol>Windows Driver Management Console.
2. Depending on your operating system, you may need to click Yes to the Do you want to allow the following
program to make changes to this computer? User Account Control message.
