    Hi Dan

    Thank you for your response and help.

    The version of SCC I have is 1.1.3.4 which I believe is the latest version as I downloaded it from the latest GS724Tv4 downloads page.

     

    I followed your intructions to carry the task out from the GUI and it saved a file called 'start-up config' Is that what I should expect to see?

    Thanks

    Luis

      Hi Luis,
      The 'start-up config' is the configuration file. You can save it,then restore it to other GS724Tv4.

       

      Thanks.
