CONFIGURATION
The USP-S24/48 is configured using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and
Chrome). Enter the USP’s IP address in the Address/ URL bar, typically located at the top of the
web browser page, to access the configuration Home Page. Use the links on the left side of the
Home Page to access the desired configuration web page.
All configuration settings are saved in non-volatile memory in the unit. Settings are retained
when power is removed.
Settings may be uploaded to a computer as a configuration file (.dnf) for storage. Configuration
files may be downloaded from a computer into the USP to restore a saved configuration. A
configuration file contains all of configuration settings except IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address. Partial configuration upload or download is not supported. The configuration
file is a not a text formatted file. It can not be viewed or modified with a text editor.

command and must be followed by at least one character.
Use %WTttt to add a WAIT time, 001 - 999 milliseconds. Three numbers must follow %WT. The
characters preceding %WT are sent immediately. The characters after %WTttt are sent after the
wait time expires. More than one %WT can be included in a command. NOTE- %WT is only an
approximate wait time.
NOTE- Spaces between characters are NOT transmitted. Use %20 to transmit a space character.
