SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
Overview of Configurator 4-3
Turning off the brouter, or otherwise interrupting the reprogramming of the Flash ROM, will
damage the programming of the brouter, and render it inoperable.
Note: Anytime you make changes in Frequency, IP Routing, or Network ID, start with
the brouter furthest away from your current location. This will allow you to
complete your changes without having to physically go to each location.
Configuring a Saved Configuration File
To configure a saved CNF file (configuration file), open it from the File menu by using the Open
function. Then, configure the file just as if you were configuring a remote brouter. When you are
finished configuring the file, save it to disk from the File menu using the "Save Config File As..."
function. The "Open Remote Config..." and "Save Config" functions are used for accessing and
saving directly to the brouter without using a file saved on diskette. Be careful when you save the
configuration file that you do not save the configuration directly to the SPEEDLAN; otherwise, you
will be configuring the brouter and may not be able to re-access it after uploading the incorrect
configuration to it.
Exporting and Importing a Configuration
Once you have opened a remote brouter, you can take a "snapshot" of the current configuration with
the "Save Config File As..." function. This function will result in creating a CNF file. The extension
.CNF is used to denote the special exported binary configuration file. The CNF file created with the
"Save Config File As..." function can later be imported into another brouter by using the "Import
Config File..." function, then saving the configuration to the brouter using the "Save Config" function.
