# Loading Configurations

Loading Local Configuration Files

VistaLINK™ PRO provides the ability to configure a product by loading settings from an external file created by the Save feature. A configuration file may contain the configuration settings for one product, multiple products, one parameter or multiple parameters. Saved Local configurations can only be applied to the same product or product multiples that they where saved from.

For example:

A save operation was executed on a frame with an AVM in Slot 4 and an AVM-DC in Slot 8. This configuration file can only be loaded into a frame that contains an AVM in slot 4 and an AVM-DC in slot 8.

If the saved Local configuration is limited to one specific module or sub parameter. That saved configuration can be loaded into any similar product anywhere in the system.

To load a configuration file:

1. Select the desired node(s) in the Navigation Tree.

2. Right click the selected nodes and choose Load -> Local. The Config Local Load dialog box will appear. Select the saved configuration file and then select Open.

Loading System Configuration Files

System configuration files can be loaded into modules in a similar manner to local files, however, System configurations can also be launched directly from the Navigation Tree. When initiated in this manner the System configuration will apply its settings strictly to the exact hardware that the configuration was built from.

System configurations can also be added to VistaLink PRO Graphics Views as well as attached to a 9000NCP(2) preset button.
