3. Save the existing template by clicking
"Save Config Template" and selecting the
current template file then clicking "OK".
When asked if you wish to replace the
existing file, click "Yes". Create a new
template by changing the template
name to a name that is not already used
by a configuration template in the
Templates folder.
The user can only make changes to the
default values in the fields with open or
challenge access. They cannot change
hidden fields.
Challenge fields
Challenge fields are configuration template
fields that require the user to complete a
challenge sequence to verify that they are in
fact intending to change the values of these
fields. It protects the user from accidentally
changing values in those fields when
managing templates or configuring an RCU.
The challenge sequence simply requires the
user to enter the text "YES" in the challenge
box before clicking "OK". Refer to Figure 39
on page 44.
Editing protocol mapping
If enabled, the user can maintain the
protocol mapping for a specified
configuration template by clicking the "Edit
Protocol Mapping" button.
These items are usually very sensitive to
change, and entering this screen requires
the user to complete the challenge box. The
user will then see a screen similar to Figure
41 (the actual screen shown will depend on
the protocol used by the customer).
From this screen, the user can change the
protocol database point mapping. Double
clicking on a protocol database point will
reveal the settings for that specific protocol
database point, and right clicking on a
protocol database point (or points if more
than one is selected) will quickly allow the
classification of those points to be changed.
The example shown is for DNP3 points, and
the user can change settings for both digital
and analog DNP3 points.
The rows are color coded to distinguish
between DNP3 classifications. In addition,
rows that are shown in red indicate that the
rows have a duplicate DNP3 index and need
to be fixed before saving or sending to a
RCU is allowed.

Unmapped DNP3 points appear at the end
of the list in dark grey.
The user can print the protocol database
point mapping screens by clicking the "Print"
button. For more information regarding the
protocol database, refer to the relevant
protocol manual supplied.
