Overview

The ABC-02-USB Automatic Backup Configurator is a device that can

save and load configuration files, backup event logs, and load firmware

of Moxa’s managed switch via the USB (universal serial bus) interface.

The ABC-02-USB is able to be accessed directly like a standard USB

flash drive from a computer.

The ABC-02-USB makes it easier to manage the backup of system

parameters or perform configuration during the replacement of a

switch. With the ABC-02-USB, users can quickly re-install a substitute

switch (of the same model) without the need of a laptop computer. The

ABC-02 can be used to recover the entire system configuration,

including the IP address, if a switch failure occurs.

Switches can load firmware from the ABC-02-USB and backup event

logs to the ABC-02-USB. It is also an easy and fast diagnostics tool for

automation engineers to retrieve configuration files and event logs in

the field immediately, without the need for laptop computers.
