Proxim portfolio comprises different product lines and SKUs which differ in features and capabilities depending on the
hardware platform and the country setting or licensing used in them. This document describes the process to successfully
apply the configuration file on a device(s) and the software checks run while applying the configuration file on a device(s).

successfully apply the configuration file, the following criteria should be met.
1. The Hardware Inventory Component ID should be same for both the source device and the target device.

WD SKU is compatible only with the EU SKU. For example, if the configuration file retrieved from a WD SKU
device is loaded on a US or JP SKU target device then the upgrade fails.
If the above criteria are met, the configuration file can be successfully applied on the target device else an error message is
thrown. Once the configuration file is loaded and the device is rebooted, the software tries to apply the new configuration
file during the system boot-up process.
