Saving and reusing an Actisense NDC-4 Configuration

Saving an NDC-4 Configuration

Sometimes a user may need to save the configuration of an NDC-4 to a file.  This configuration file can be loaded back in to NDC Control Centre.  There are a couple of reasons why this may be useful:
  • It's a common configuration that you wish to re-use multiple times.  Saving the configuration to file will save you time in future.
  • Our tech support engineers may ask for it.  This provides an easy way for us to see how your NDC-4 has been set up if you are experiencing some issues.
Before you begin you will need to connect your NDC-4 to a PC or laptop.  This article provides full details for how to do that.

You will also need NDC Control Centre installed on the same PC.  Download it here.
