How to backup and restore receiver settings
Background information
If several receivers are to be used with the same configuration, with differences in the coordinates and IP settings only, it would
be convenient to not have to type in these settings into every receiver.
For any use case that requires the same receiver configuration to be installed more than once, the backup and restore
functionality saves a lot of time and effort.
Before you begin
Installing the same receiver functionality on more than one receiver via the restore function also sets the same communication
settings on all receivers. If the receivers are then all connected to the same network, the same IP and hostname may connect
to any of the available receivers. Make sure that the communication settings are clearly dedicated for each receiver.
Access management is overwritten with the access settings stored in the backup file when installing a new set
of receiver settings. Make sure that the access settings stored in the backup file are known, in order to
prevent being locked out of the web interface.
Step-by-step backup receiver settings
Open the receiver’s web interface in a browser window by typing in the receivers IP or hostname.
Go to Receiver setup / Tools and open the Receiver settings backup tab.
Press Backup current receiver settings . The receiver now collects all receiver configuration
information and stores it in a zipped backup file.
The backup file is now listed on the Receiver settings backup page. Press Download to download the file
to your PC. It can then be used to install the same settings on another receiver or archived for later use.
The file name contains the date and time of the file being created and the receiver’s serial number. This
simplifies keeping track of archived receiver backup files.
Step-by-step restore/install receiver settings
Open the receiver’s web interface in a browser window by typing in the receivers IP or hostname.
Go to Receiver setup / Tools and open the Receiver settings backup tab.
Press Upload new receiver settings to upload a zip file containing all receiver settings. The file upload
page is opened.
Use the browse button to find the backup file on your PC. This file can be from the same receiver or from a
different receiver.
Press Upload to load the file onto the receivers SD card. Wait until the upload is finished. The file is then
listed in the Receiver settings backup page.
