# Configuration Control

## User Configuration Settings

### Save Configuration using this name

This option saves the current user configuration settings in the Viper to the user specified file. Valid characters for the file name are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - and _.
Click the radio button and enter a file name. Then click "Proceed" to save the settings to the file. Use the "Click here..." link to download the file.

### Import Configuration from/Delete Configuration

This feature allows the user to import or delete a stored configuration file. The file is selected using the drop-down list. Select either "Import..." or "Delete..." and click "Proceed"

The imported configuration file may be renamed, if desired, (must keep the .drp extension) then reloaded back into the original Viper or into another Viper by using an FTP client. Do not load more than 5 separate configuration files into a single Viper. Loading many configuration files into a Viper may use up an excessive amount of memory and may cause the Viper to malfunction. After saving the configuration file back into the Viper with an FTP Client, select "Import Configuration from" and follow the instructions below.

## Firmware Upgrade Settings

The "Merge settings bundled in upgrade package with current configuration" option merges upgraded settings with the current configuration. Select the "Merge settings..." radio button then click "Proceed". Next click "Save Config" then "Reset Unit" to complete the process.

Note: The "firmware upgrade" process will replace an existing configuration with the one that came bundled with the firmware upgrade package.

## Factory Settings

The "Restore Factory Settings" option restores all settings to the default factory configuration.

Upon performing the firmware upgrade, should you decide to restore the factory settings instead of "merging with bundled settings", simply select the "Restore Factory Settings" radio button right after performing the firmware upgrade and click on "Proceed". Click "Save Config" then "Reset Unit" to complete the process.

Important note:
Activating "Restore Factory Settings" will reset the IP address of the unit to its default value of "192.168.205.1".
Have your record of all the original Viper factory settings available before proceeding with restoring to factory settings.
