Importing and Exporting an XML Configuration File
An XCR can be imported or exported using the following methods:
Filesystem-XCRs can be saved to the device server file system and imported or accessed as
needed. See
needed. See
or the Filesystem Browser section in the XPort Pro
Lx6 Embedded Device Server User Guide.
CLI-XCRs can be imported (captured) or exported (dumped) directly to a Telnet or serial line
CLI session. Capturing an XCR can be started by pasting a valid XCR directly into the CLI
prompt. The XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device server immediately processes the configuration
record, changing any settings specified. This can be done on any level, including the root.
Special tags in the XML allow for providing root and enable level passwords so that this can
also be done at the password prompt.

Web browser-Web Manager can be used to import and export an XCR to the device server file
system. It can also be used to import an XCR from an external source such as your local hard

system. It can also be used to import an XCR from an external source such as your local hard

FTP-The device server FTP server can export and import XCRs when an FTP get or put
command for the filename (xport_pro_lx6.xcr for export, xport_pro_lx6_import.xcr for import;
both are under the pwxcr directory) is requested. On export (FTP get of xport_pro_lx6.xcr), the
FTP server obtains the current XCR from the XPort Pro Lx6 and sends it as a file. On import
(FTP put of xport_pro_lx6_import.xcr), the FTP server processes the file by sending it directly
to the XML engine. In both cases the device server filesystem is not accessed. The files
xport_pro_lx6.xcr and xport_pro_lx6_import.xcr are not read from or written to the file system.
See FTP in the XPort Pro Lx6 Embedded Device Server User Guide.

Best Practices
You can import or export an entire XCR, or just a portion of it, by specifying the group name and/or
group instances. In the examples below, import and export operations are performed from the CLI
on the local filesystem and require a XCR on the local filesystem. The Web Manager provides the
same functionality.

Caution:
Using Microsoft Word to edit and save an XCR will change the format of
the file and make it incompatible with XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device
server. This is true even if the file is saved as Plain Text (.txt) or an XML
Document (.xml). Notepad, a third party text editor, or a specialized XML
editor should be used instead.
