    So the Restore function does not automatically create virtual outlets? I thought the saved config would contain virtual outlets, programming, profiles, etc.

    Russ, you're saying that the backup file won't restore your VOs? If not, specifically what needs to be identical before the restore is performed? ID / Name / Device / Type ?

    Thanks.

    I wish I had a spare Apex to experiment with. There seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding the Load/Save Configuration functionality.

    guys, I'm so friggin intimidated by all this now I'm literally considering leaving it as is, buying a separate pinpoint monitor for the salinity and going on about my way. I can't believe there is not a simple to understand, step by step instruction booklet for doing just what I want to do. I can't be the only person that has had to change out the identical base unit. Even Neptune has given me different instructions. I had one support person thinking I was upgrading. This is all over the board.

    You don’t have a big system. Take down your programming or print out the summary.

    Plug the new base unit in and reprogram it 1 module at a time.
