Setting Information Export/Import Function (DCM)Function OverviewThis function (DCM: Device Configuration Management) is used to export/import setting value information in the host machineas a file (DCM file).The following setting information is exported/imported.• Setting information of [Settings/ Registration]• Setting information of service mode• Address BookThe DCM file is exported to a USB flash drive or PC local disk from the Control Panel or remote UI.The exported DCM file can be returned to the original device or imported to a different device.When the file is returned to the original device, this can be used as a setting backup function, and when the file is imported to adifferent device, this can be used as a setting information migration function.Data can also be imported to or exported from an iR-ADV machine by using iW EMC/MC DCM Plug-in.In the case of the setting value backup function before DCM, an exported file could be imported to the same device, but the DCMfunction enables import of an exported file to a different device.ImageDCM supportdeviceDCM support deviceSettings/RegistrationService modeRemote UIDCM fileiW EMC/MCwith DCM Plug-in DCM supportiR-ADVDCM fileDCM fileDCM fileDCM fileDCM fileUSB memorydeviceNOTE:In order to export or import setting information using DCM, it is necessary that the device supports DCM.■ Purpose for Using the FunctionThe purpose of using the DCM function is described below using three use cases.Case Export/ Import Use CaseA Export from and import to the same device • Used as backup in preparation for a device failure• Used as backup before changing settingsB Export from and import to a different device of thesame model• Collectively migrate data when replacing the host machine• Copy the settings to multiple devices (during kitting)C Export from and import to a different model• Migrate the settings from the old model to the new model whenreplacing the host machine• Migrate the settings of the base machine to a different modelfor a large-scale user● Export from and Import to the Same Device (Case A)In this use case, setting information is exported as backup in preparation for a device failure or backup before changing settings.Information of various settings is backed up just in case.DCM fileExportImport2.
