7 Using the Configuration Tool
The Configuration Tool is a software application that makes the installation and configuration
of a unit faster and easier. The Configuration Tool runs on a PC that is connected to the
Divar XF via an Ethernet network connection.
Although all settings can also be configured with the on-screen display menu of the Divar XF
itself, the Configuration Tool offers a very user-friendly alternative. It also allows configuration
settings to be saved on the PC hard disk. These can be restored later and used to configure
other units.
