If you select Network settings, the network configuration will be overwritten with the network settings in the
supplied file. Typically, you would only select this check box if you were restoring from a file backed up from
the same MCU or if you were intending to replace an out of service MCU. If you copy the network settings from
a different, active, MCU and there is a clash (for instance, both are now configured to use the same fixed IP
address) one or both boxes may become unreachable via IP. If you do not select Network settings, the restore
operation will not overwrite the existing network settings, with the one exception of the QoS settings. QoS
settings are overwritten regardless of the Network settings checkbox.
