Chapter 17 Configuration Management The following table describes the fields in this screen. Table 174 Device Operation > Configuration Management > Synchronization (Folder) LABEL DESCRIPTION Device(s) Overwrite Vantage CNM (Synchronize All) Select this radio button to have Vantage CNM pull all current device configurations in the selected folder into Vantage CNM. The current devices' configurations "overwrite" Vantage CNM configurations. Vantage CNM Overwrites Device(s) (Synchronize All) Select this radio button to have Vantage CNM push all current configurations from Vantage CNM to the devices in the selected folder. The current devices' configurations are then reset to the configuration settings that Vantage CNM contains. Apply Click this and double confirm to start the configuration synchronization between devices and Vantage CNM. 17.3 Configuration File Management Once your device is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings. Use this menu item to manage, back up and restore configuration files for specific devices or for multiple devices in a specific folder. If you back up multiple devices in a specific folder, you can manage and restore the configuration files at the folder level or individually by device. You can back up configuration files to Vantage CNM or to your computer. If you back up a configuration file to Vantage CNM, you can only restore that configuration file to that device, even if other devices are the same model and are running the same firmware. Note: Before you restore a configuration file, make sure the new configuration does not prevent you from managing the device remotely, unless that is desired. Make sure you restore a configuration file to an appropriate model. Otherwise, you may damage the device or lock yourself out. You can create your own configuration file alias in Vantage CNM. This may make it easier to distinguish between configuration files. The menu item displays different screens depending on whether you selected a device or a folder before you clicked this menu item. 412 Vantage CNM User's Guide
