Offline Configuration

Overview
Offline Configuration refers to configuring a device when the device is not physically present or
communicating with the application. This process enables the user to create and save a
configuration for a device, even when the device is not there physically. Later when the device
becomes available with live communication, the same configuration can be downloaded to the
device. This feature enables the user to save on device commissioning time and even helps the
user to replicate the configuration in multiplicity of devices with lesser efforts. Currently, FDC does
not support creating offline configuration. However, it supports importing of offline configuration
from FDM R310 or later versions. The configurations thus imported can be downloaded to the
device from FDC.
The following are the tasks that the user needs to perform for importing offline configuration in
FDC application software and then downloading it to the device.

Create offline configuration template in FDM

Save the configuration in FDM in FDM format.

Import the offline configuration in FDC

Download the offline configuration to the device
Note: For details on creating and using offline configuration, refer to section Offline configuration
in FDM User's Guide.
