Encrypted storage of configurations with LANconfig

As of LCOS version 9.10, it is possible to encrypt configuration and script files and to give them a checksum. Configuration files can be given password protection for encryption and secure storage with LANconfig, so preventing any unauthorized access to configurations.

  • -h: Adds a checksum to the configuration file.
  • -s <password>: Encrypts the configuration file with the use of the specified password.

readscript [-n] [-d] [-i] [-c] [-m] [-h] [-s <password>] The readscript command generates a text dump of all commands and parameters required to configure the device in its current state. You can use the following option switches for this:

  • -i: The table designations are included in the text output.
  • -c: Includes any comments contained in the script file.
  • -m: The text is output to the screen in a compact but difficult to read format (no indentations).
