Transferring Configurations with IAM

The Intelligent Application Module (IAM) has the form factor of an SD card. The card contains all the current network configurations and settings.

In case of a tool failure, the card can be transferred to a new tool and all functionality remains the same. When the card is transferred, the new tool will be updated to the software on the card. It is good practice to make sure the new tool is already running the same software version as the old tool, to minimize the risk of data loss.

Note that the saved results associated with the tool will be lost when the card is transferred to another tool. The MAC-address is associated with the card, not with the tool itself. When transferring a card to a new tool, the tool's MAC-address will therefore be updated.

IAM can not be used for anything but storing the tool configuration data and software. Reformatting the card, as well as manipulating the data on the card through other means than IxB Software or ToolsTalk Service 2, will result in an unusable card.
