Saving configuration

Saving the current configuration settings to the hardware device is a one­step process:

Use this File Menu option to save the base station configuration
parameters to the location from which they were read. If the
configuration was read from a base station, it will be saved to the CSU
from which it was read. If the configuration was read from a file, the
modified configuration will be saved back to that file.
To import a saved configuration to an CSU, first connect to the base
station using Open Remote Config, then use Import Config File.

1. From the File Menu, select Save Config.
