Import/Export the CONFIG

LAN Monitor allows you to import/export CONFIG in the following two ways.

  • By using the CONFIG export function, you can back up the CONFIG file of the agent device to your PC.

  • You can use the CONFIG import function to apply CONFIG data to an agent device, including CONFIG data that was prepared in advance or data backed up from an agent device.

  • Since L2MS is used for CONFIG import/export, it is easy to import/export the CONFIG even without an IP address configured.
