Offline configuration export & import
The Export offline configuration and Import offline configuration functions enable the exchange of device configurations with offline systems. Since these devices cannot constantly communicate online, they are updated via configuration files, which are exported, transferred manually and then imported again
These features allow configurations to be synchronized, updated, and backed up.
