If the distribution is password protected, only those units that have the
same password configured into the control parameter will accept the
distribution. In this way you may protect your units from unwanted
loads. The password may also be used to divide the units into code load
groups so the loads to one group will not affect the other groups.

If the distribution is done without a password, the load will be ignored
by remote units with a configured password. If the remote unit does not
have a password and firmware is being distributed, it will still accept the
load based on the version number and code checksum.

Controlling Which Parts of the Configuration are Distributed
By default certain parts of the configuration have been set to being part
of the distributable configuration. The distribution always contains all
configuration items marked this way.

configuration items marked this way.
Each configuration item in the bridge has been assigned a unique id
number that will never change over the life of the product. It is these
numbers along with the arguments to the configuration commands that
are distributed so that menu changes do not affect the configuration.

Use the Dump command to display the status of the entire configuration.
Each line will start with the id number for the item and its arguments.
Then in a comment field the string “local” will appear if the item in not
distributable and “sent” if it is. Following this will be the current full
text for the configuration item.

To change which items are distributable use the add/remove/show com-
mands. The Add command asks for a configuration id and whether it is
to be sent or is local only. The Remove command asks for an id or “all”
and returns the item to its default state. The Show command displays the
table of changes.
