# Import Edge Server configuration

Before you begin

Configure Edge Servers

Configuration exporting and importing lets you duplicate RFID Edge Server configurations on other Edge Servers. You select Edge Server objects to export to an XML file, and duplicate the configuration on another RFID Edge Server by importing that file.

To import an Edge Server configuration:

1. In the right pane of the Console, select Import/Export Configuration > Import Configuration.
2. Click Browse to select an Edge Server configuration XML file to import, then click Open.
3. From the Edge Server drop-down list, select the target Edge Server to which to import configuration objects and click Import.

   Note: If you import configuration objects with the same name as objects that already exist on the Edge Server, the Resolve Import Conflicts page appears. Select which objects to replace with imported ones.

   Note: When you export all ECSpec Subscribers to an ECSpec, they appear in one XML file with the same name as the ECSpec. When you import an ECSpec and its ECSpec Subscribers objects, they appear with the same name in the Resolve Import Conflicts page. The first one listed is the ECSpec object and the second one is the ECSpec Subscribers object.

Result

The configuration file is imported and the configuration objects appear in the Console under the selected Edge Server node.
