Procedure:
You will be using the CPCONF command to copy the PortServer’s configuration to a text file. This way you can save it for future reference and/or email it to Digi International Technical Support for troubleshooting if requested to do so by a technician.
1. To use CPCONF to copy the PortServer’s configuration to a
text file, you will need to telnet into the Digi PortServer product. To
initiate the
telnet connection from Windows NT & 9X go to
Start, Run (see Figure 1).

Click Open.
