Overview

The ABC-01-P-M12 is designed for system backup and restoration to
enhance maintenance efficiency and reduce system downtime in railway
applications, including rolling stock and wayside installations. The
ABC-01-P-M12 Automatic Backup Configurator tool can be used to save
and load the configuration of Moxa’s ToughNet (TN) managed Ethernet
switches and wireless APs/bridges/clients through the RS-232 console
port. The ABC-01-P-M12 can be continuously plugged into Moxa’s
Ethernet switches and wireless APs/bridges/ clients while the devices are

manage configurations. With the ABC-01-P-M12, you can quickly
configure a replacement switch (of the same model).
