Bulk Configuration

The Bulk Configuration feature allows you save generic settings of a configured HPDU device to your computer. You can use this configuration file to copy common settings to other HPDU devices of the same model and firmware version.

A source device is the HPDU device where the configuration file is downloaded/saved. A target device is the HPDU device that loads the configuration file.

By default, the configuration file downloaded from the source device contains settings based on the built-in bulk profile. The built-in bulk profile defines that all settings must be saved except for device settings. The device settings, such as the device IP address or environmental sensor settings, are not included into any profile and so they are not downloaded from any source device.

You can decide which settings are downloaded and which are not by creating your own bulk configuration profile.

When the date and time settings are included in the bulk configuration file, exercise caution when distributing that file to target devices located in a different time zone than the source device.


Note -  To back up or restore all settings, including device settings, use Backup/Restore feature instead.
