Using Driver Configuration Files
The Comtrol Drivers Management Console supports saving device driver
configuration files, which provides:
• Back-up for existing driver configuration settings
• Ability to configure multiple of the same devices with the same configuration
parameters
• Save the driver configuration settings because you need to remove a driver
version to install a new driver version and you want to reload the driver
configuration settings into the new driver
Note: Configuration files must be for the same model with the same port density.
For example, you cannot load a DeviceMaster PRO configuration file onto a
DeviceMaster RTS or a configuration file for a 32-port DeviceMaster RTS
onto a 4-port DeviceMaster RTS.
Configuration files are saved with a .DCF extension.
Saving Driver Configuration Files
Use the following procedure to create and save a configuration file.
1. After configuring the device and ports, click Save Configuration.
