8. Exporting Settings

By clicking on the Export Settings item in the VPortPro Programs' folder (i.e., from the Start/Programs/VPortPro menu):

you can store all the settings you have made on the COM-TCP/IP connection channel list in the VCOM-TCP Primary Client and COM Port Redirector windows into the vppini.dat file. This VPortPro configuration file will be created in the home directory and include data in the ASCII format.

With Export Settings, you can create several VPortPro configuration files with different settings you need (do not forget to rename the vppini.dat file before next exporting).

The VPortPro configuration file, vppini.dat, is used during secondary installations of the VPortPro package (See section The Silent Installation Mode in chapter Running Setup). If you copy the file into the distributive directory, Setup will install the package and restore configuration files from this file (thus exporting settings from one installation site to another one).
