Overview

The ABC-01 Automatic Backup Configurator is a device that can save and
load the configuration of a MOXA EDS-series managed switch via the
switch’s RS-232 console port. The ABC-01 thus makes it easier to manage
the backup of system parameters or replacement of a switch. With the
assistance of the ABC-01, users can quickly re-install a substitute switch
(of the same model) and/or recover the entire system configuration,
including IP address, if a switch failure occurs.
