What This Appendix
Contains
This appendix provides information about downloading and uploading switch
configurations. The 1783-EMS switch can accept its configuration from a file
stored on a personal computer.
This is useful if the same configuration must be used in multiple switches. This
file can be retrieved from a switch and downloaded to another switch.
Upload Configuration

this procedure.
1. Open the DOS command prompt by clicking
Start>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt to see the Command
Prompt window.
2. From the Command Prompt window, type 'FTP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' where x
represents the switch’s IP address and defaults are as follows:
• Username is 'uploader'.
• Password is 'PASSWORD'.
3. Type the following to store Switch_Config_file.img on your hard disk
drive:
'get c:\storage_location_on_my_PC\Switch_Config_file.img'
