Abstract

A transmission device 100 stores a plurality of sets of setting data in a backup area 103 thereof, and uses any setting data in response to a command from an external terminal 200 to start up the own device. Accordingly, the user can automatically register a desired device configuration solely by selecting a device mode.

Claims

1. A transmission device that stores a plurality of sets of setting data in a storage area thereof, and uses any setting data in response to a command from a terminal to start up the own device.

3. The transmission device according to claim 1, wherein the setting data is stored by a file system.

2. A transmission device that has data for device mode management in addition to a master user data file, holds data files for each device mode, produces before shipment, data files for each device mode based on a parameter sheet preliminarily acquired, copies onto the master data file, data being set in the user data file corresponding to a device mode, in response to a command from a terminal after a user selects a target device mode in constructing the device, to start up the own device by use of the data.

4. A transmission device setting system in which a transmission device stores a plurality of sets of setting data in a storage area thereof, and uses any setting data in response to a command from a terminal to start up the own device.

6. The transmission device setting system according to claim 4, wherein the transmission device stores the setting data by use of a file system.

5. A transmission device setting system in which a transmission device has data for device mode management in addition to a master user data file, holds data files for each device mode, produces before shipment, data files for each device mode based on a parameter sheet preliminarily acquired, copies onto the master data file, data being set in the user data file corresponding to a device mode, in response to a command from a terminal after a user selects a target device mode in constructing the device, to start up the own device by use of the data.

7. A transmission device setting method by which a transmission device stores a plurality of sets of setting data in a storage area thereof, and uses any setting data in response to a command from a terminal to start up the own device.

9. The transmission device setting method according to claim 7, wherein the transmission device stores the setting data by use of a file system.

8. A transmission device setting method by which a transmission device has data for device mode management in addition to a master user data file, holds data files for each device mode, produces before shipment, data files for each device mode based on a parameter sheet preliminarily acquired, copies onto the master data file, data being set in the user data file corresponding to a device mode, in response to a command from a terminal after a user selects a target device mode in constructing the device, to start up the own device by use of the data.

10. A storage medium for storing a program that causes a computer to store a plurality of sets of setting data in a storage area thereof, and to use any setting data in response to a command from a terminal to start up the own device.

12. A storage medium for storing the program according to claim 10, which uses the setting data stored by a file system.

11. A storage medium for storing a program that causes a computer to have data for device mode management in addition to a master user data file, hold data files for each device mode, produce before shipment, data files for each device mode based on a parameter sheet preliminarily acquired, copy onto the master data file, data being set in the user data file corresponding to a device mode, in response to a command from a terminal after a user selects a target device mode in constructing the device, to start up the own device by use of the data.
