The "Checkpoint User Configuration" option saves the
current user configuration settings in the Viper.
Click on the "Checkpoint User Configuration" radio button. Click
on "Proceed" to save the settings to the configuration file. The new configuration file's name
will consist of "UserCfg_" and the Viper's Ethernet MAC address. (Example: UserCfg_000A99012345.drp).
If a previous checkpoint had been saved to the UserCfg_macaddress.drp file then the new
checkpoint will overwrite the existing file.
Click this link to save the configuration file to a PC. A save dialog box will appear. Select
the file name and folder to save the configuration file to and click save.
The configuration file may be renamed, if desired, (must keep the .drp extension) then reloaded
back into the original Viper or into another Viper by using an FTP client. Do not load more than 5 separate
configuration files into a single Viper. Loading many configuration files into a Viper may use up an excessive
amount of memory and may cause the Viper to malfunction. After saving the configuration file back into the Viper
with an FTP Client, select "Import Configuration from" and follow the instructions below.
To restore a user configuration, click the "Import Configuration from" radio button. The drop down combo box will show all the .drp files (configuration files) in the Viper. Select the configuration file to load and click on "Proceed". Click "Save Config" then "Reset Unit" to complete the process and store these settings to the unit.
The "Merge settings bundled in upgrade package with current configuration" option merges upgraded settings with the current configuration. Select the "Merge settings..." radio button then click "Proceed". Next click "Save Config" then "Reset Unit" to complete the process.
Note: The "firmware upgrade" process will replace an existing
configuration with the one that came bundled with the firmware upgrade
package.
The "Restore Factory Settings" option restores all settings to the default factory
configuration.
Upon performing the firmware upgrade, should you decide to restore the
factory settings instead of "merging with bundled settings", simply select the
"Restore Factory Settings" radio button right after performing the firmware
upgrade and click on "Proceed". Click "Save Config" then "Reset Unit" to
complete the process.
Important note:
Activating "Restore Factory Settings" will reset the IP address of the unit to its
default value of "192.168.205.1".
Have your record of all the original Viper factory settings available
before proceeding with restoring to factory settings.
