• To save “known-good” configuration files from your radios.
These can be used for later restoration if a configuration prob-
lem occurs, and it is unclear what parameter is causing the issue.
• To facilitate the rapid configuration of a large number of radios.
• To provide troubleshooting information when you contact the
factory for technical support. A technician can often spot poten-
tial problems by reviewing a configuration file.
How Configuration Files Work
When a configuration script file is downloaded to a radio (
Retrieve File),
the radio executes the parameters as commands and takes the values
contained in it. When a configuration script file is uploaded from the
radio (
Send), it contains the current values of the radio’s configuration
parameters.
Figure 3-109 on Page 131 shows the Configuration Scripts
Menu.
