Restoring a Configuration Backup to the XMC-1
The Restore Configuration feature on the XMC-1 allows you restore a previously saved configuration
from a USB drive.
Note: REsToRING A sAVED CoNfIGURATIoN WIll REMoVE/DElETE ThE CURRENT
CoNfIGURATIoN. If you are unsure about whether you wish to do this, you may wish to save
the current configuration - on a different UsB flash drive - first.
Note: It is perfectly acceptable to use the same UsB drive for a firmware update file and a
configuration backup.
Note: In order to restore a configuration to the XMC-1, the file containing it must be stored in
the default location on the UsB drive, and must have the default fie name. If you are managing
multiple configuration files, be sure to put the one you want in the correct location, and rename
it to the default name, before proceeding.
Note: The XMC-1 has internal storage which can hold one configuration backup. Initiating a
Restore Configuration procedure with no UsB drive installed will prompt the XMC-1 to use the
internally stored configuration file - if one exists.
To restore a configuration to your XMC-1:
• Insert the USB drive containing your saved configuration file into the USB port on the front or
back of the XMC-1.
• Press the Menu button.
• Use the Up/Down buttons to select Setup; press the Right button to enter the Setup menu.
• Use the Up/Down buttons to select Advanced; press the Right button to enter the Advanced
Setup menu.
• Use the Up/Down buttons to select Restore Config; press the Right button to enter the
confirmation screen.
• Use the Up button to confirm your choice; the confirmation box will change to "X".
• Use the Left button to confirm the backup.
• You will see a status message indicating that the restore is in progress, and another message
to confirm when it is completed.
• You may remove the USB drive and exit the Setup Menu as soon as the "Done" status message
appears.
Note: Unless otherwise instructed, you do NoT have to reset your XMC-1 to factory defaults
after restoring a stored configuration.
Note: Restoring a saved configuration will restore all sETTINGs; however certain sTATUs
information will be lost, which may cause it to appear as if settings were lost. for example, if
you restore a configuration that designates one or more Inputs as last Used, then the Inputs
themselves will be configured as last Used, but the XMC-1 won't remember what mode was
used last for that Input and signal type; and so it will have to "relearn" your preferences for
each Input configured that way.
