Apply a configuration to a Connect Sensor

You can apply a configuration file to a Connect Sensor. Three types of configuration files are available:

Saved: A saved file is created when you save a copy of a configuration on a Connect Sensor. See Back up a Connect Sensor configuration.
Provided: A set of standard Digi Axess configurations are available.
Device Group: A configuration can be created for a device group, and these are available to install if the device you are configuring is in that device group. See Back up a Connect Sensor configuration.

The update happens during the next time that the Connect Sensor wakes up and connects to Digi Axess, either at the scheduled wake time or if it is done manually.

Note You can also apply a configuration to a Connect Sensor device or device group from the Digi Axess Administration menu, or from the Device Summary page.

Access the web UI for Connect Sensor from the Device Summary page. The Automation Dashboard displays.
Choose System Tools > Backup/Restore. The Backup/Restore Configuration page displays.
From the Select an Option section, click Install.
Configure the install options in the Install Options section.
- Reset Settings Not Defined In Configuration to Defaults
  - Disabled: Any settings not defined in the configuration will maintain their existing values. This is the default.
  - Enabled: Any settings not defined in the configuration will be reset to their default values.
- Install Settings Not Supported By Current Firmware
  - Enabled: Any settings not supported by the currently installed firmware will still be installed and when the device is updated to a firmware version that supports the settings the settings will become active. This is the default.
  - Disabled: The unsupported settings will not be installed.

Select the type of configuration file that you want to configure, and then select the associated configuration file.
