The software allows you to back up the device configuration, as well as to make recovery and reset to the factory settings.
The software allows you to backup the settings of the monitoring unit in a file, as well as restore the backup settings and reset them by default.
Backup settings to a file

Since v. 2.7.1 is available selective backup settings to a file.
The selective backup configuration file can be used for mass deployment of monitoring units on a facility when it is expected to use multiple units with identical settings. One monitoring system is set up first after which the settings of this system are necessary to back up. Further backup settings are restored on other systems, and different parameters are set manually.
