Configuring Power-Up States

Unless you configure FieldPoint modules to save their states, a power cycle or a reset to the bank will cause output channels to return to their factory default output states. To avoid this problem, you can configure a preferred power-up state for your hardware.

To configure a power-up state for your hardware, you can use the Snapshot feature or the configurable power-up method. With the Snapshot feature, you bring the hardware into the desired state and take a "snapshot" of that state. The configurable power-up method is not as fast as the Snapshot method, but it allows you to specify power-up values without having to bring the hardware into the desired state.
