Overview
The ABC-01 Automatic Backup Configurator is a device that can save
and load the configuration of a Moxa managed switch via the switch’s
RS-232 console port. The ABC-01 thus makes it easier to manage the
backup of system parameters or replacement of a switch. With the
assistance of the ABC-01, users can quickly re-install a substitute
switch (of the same model) and/or recover the entire system
configuration, including IP address, if a switch failure occurs.

Product Installation
The ABC-01 is designed solely for use with an RS-232 port. Plug the
ABC-01 into the RS-232 console port of your Moxa managed switch.
Refer to the Product Operation section for instructions on how to save

Product Operation
Save the switch’s configuration on the ABC-01

ABC-01. The function is found under “Basic Settings/System File
Upgrade/Backup Media” in the web console.
Load the configuration from the ABC-01 to the switch
There are 2 ways to load the configuration from the ABC-01 to a Moxa
managed switch:
1. Load Automatically
When the ABC-01 is plugged in, the switch will automatically load the
configuration from the ABC-01 after the switch reboots. This function
can be disabled through the web console under “Basic Settings/System
File Upgrade/Backup Media”, or through the telnet console under “Basic
Settings/Backup Media”.
2. Load Manually
When the ABC-01 is plugged in, the configuration can be loaded
manually through the switch’s web console under “Basic
Settings/System File Upgrade/Backup Media”.
