Copying the PXE Configuration

A target device is the PXE device that loads another PXE device's configuration file.

Copying a source PXE device's configuration to a target device adjusts the target PXE device's settings to match those of the source PXE device. In order to successfully copy a source PXE device's configuration:

  1. Log in to the target device's web interface.
  2. If the target device's firmware version does not match that of the source device, update the target's firmware. See Firmware Upgrade.
  3. Choose Maintenance > Bulk Configuration. The Bulk Configuration dialog appears.
  4. In the Copy Bulk Configuration section, click Browse to select the configuration file stored on your PC.
  5. Click Upload & Restore Bulk Configuration to copy the file.

    A message appears, prompting you to confirm the operation and enter the admin password.

  6. Enter the admin password, then click Yes to confirm the operation.
  7. Wait until the PXE device resets and the Login page re-appears, indicating that the configuration copy is complete.

Note: On startup, the PXE performs all of its functions, including event rules and logs, based on the new configuration file you have selected instead of the previous configuration prior to the device reset. For example, "Bulk configuration copied" is logged only when the new configuration file contains the "Bulk configuration copied" event rule.
