This is stored inthe base station, but we recommend that you download it and store it onyour computer as an off-site backup. The base station identity and networkidentity are not saved as part of the configuration file.You may want to develop a master configuration and upload it to all basestations in the network. The master configuration can contain all thedifferent channel configurations and can be common to all base stations.The base station identity selects the default channel.Base stations are delivered with a default configuration which providesa safe set of values. We recommend that you download it and store it onyour computer as a backup before changing and saving any configura-tion settings.You can also generate a report containing all the base station’sconfiguration settings (Tools > Files > Configuration > Configurationreport), which can be saved as a text file. We recommend that you do thiswhen the base station is commissioned. This report can be useful later ifthere is a problem with the base station. Comparing the original report withthe later one may highlight changes in configuration that are causing aproblem.
