different configurations from a single manufacturing connect edge device these device configuration files are then available on your hard drive for upload to other manufacturing connect edge devices the template files can also be uploaded to a manufacturing connect to be applied to groups of manufacturing connect edge devices you can customize the template prior to downloading by selecting components individually or by category before you begin to access the features on the backup/restore page, you need a valid license how to download a template to download a template in manufacturing connect edge, navigate to system > backup/restore the backup/restore pane appears select the template tab the template pane appears from the templates section, select the checkboxes for the configurations you want to include in the device configuration template or select the select all check box click download template a \<date> template json file downloads to your hard drive upload a template note if you upload a template with the same connectors that are already existing in the manufacturing connect edge device, then duplicate connectors will be created with unique names for example, if the template and the manufacturing connect edge device both have a mysql connector with the name mysql integration , a duplicate connector will be created with the name mysql integration (1) for manufacturing connect edge version 3 10 0 and later, if one component fails during a template upload, an error message will display and the upload process will continue with the remaining components you can upload a device configuration template by navigating to system > backup from the templates tab when you upload a device configuration template, it applies the configuration in the file to the manufacturing connect edge device you can also apply templates to manufacturing connect edge devices using manufacturing connect, potentially changing the configurations for hundreds of manufacturing connect edge devices before you begin to access the features on the backup/restore page, you need a valid license download a device configuration template see the download a template section how to upload a template to upload a template in manufacturing connect edge, navigate to system > backup/restore the backup/restore pane appears select the template tab the template pane
