Managing Your Local Databases
Each client workstation running the Remote Console Switch Software contains a local database
that records the information that you enter about your units. If you have multiple client
workstations, you may wish to configure one station and then save a copy of this database and
load it into the other stations to avoid having to reconfigure each station. You might also wish to
export the database for use in another application.
Saving a Database
The Remote Console Switch Software allows you to save a copy of the local database. The saved
database can then be loaded back to the same computer where it was created, or it can be loaded
onto another client workstation. The saved database is compressed into a single Zip file.
While the database is being saved, no other activity is allowed. All other windows including
Video Session windows and MP windows must be closed. If other windows are open, a message
will appear prompting you to either continue and close all open windows or quit and cancel the
database save process.
To save a database:
1 Select File - Database - Save. The Database Save dialog box appears.

2 Select a database to save.
3 Type a file name and browse to a location to save the file.
4 Click Save. A progress bar appears during the save. When finished, a message appears
indicating that the save was successful and you are returned to the main window.
