Importing and Exporting Scripts

You are able to import and export connect and disconnect scripts that are in XML file format. Keyboard macros cannot be imported or exported.

Note: The import and export feature is not available from the Local Console.

Imported scripts can be edited in KX III using the Modify feature. However, once an imported script is associated with a port, it cannot be modified. Remove the script from the port to modify it. See Applying and Removing Scripts.

• To import a script:

1. Click Device Settings > Connection Scripts. The Connection Scripts page opens.
2. In the Available Connection Scripts section, click Import. The Import Connection Scripts page opens.
3. Select the import setting.
   • Skip duplicates - Scripts that already exist in KX III are not included in the import.
   • Overwrite duplicates - Scripts that already exists in KX III are overwritten by the new, imported script.
   • Add duplicates with a different name - Duplicate scripts will be renamed during the import and will not overwrite existing scripts. KX III assigns a number to the file name to distinguish it from the original.
4. Use the browse function to locate the XML script files to import.
5. Click Import. The Configuration Scripts page opens and the imported scripts are displayed.

   

• To export a disconnect script:

1. Click Device Settings > Configuration Scripts. The Configuration Scripts page opens.
2. In the Available Connection Scripts section, select the script you want to export and click Export. A dialog prompting you to open or save the XML file appears.
3. Save the XML file or open it in an XML editor. If you save the XML file, it is saved to your default Download folder.
