Copying Parameters Between Switches:
The 232BSS4 setup software can save configuration data to a file for
copying of parameters. Any unit's setup can be copied by first reading
the data from one switch, then saving to another.
Step 1:
Run the setup software.
Step 2:
Select serial (COM) port to be used for programming.
Step 3:
Select Single Unit operation. If the configuration to be used
is already saved to a file, skip to Step 8.
Step 4:
Connect the switch to be copied to the serial (COM) port of
the PC. Install the setup jumper. Apply power to the
232BSS4.
Step 5:
Click Next.
Step 6:
Select Save As from the File menu. Save the configuration to
disk.
Step 7:
Disconnect the first 232BSS4 from the COM port.
Step 8:
Connect the destination switch to the serial (COM) port of
the PC. Install the setup jumper. Apply power to the
232BSS4.
Step 9:
Select File/Load File and load the saved configuration.
Step 10:
Click Save Changes
Once the configuration file has been loaded, any number of switches can
be set to the same parameters by connecting and configuring each in turn.
