The Copy configuration tool simplifies the process of configuring many similar
entities. You can copy the settings from one entity to other entities of the same
type.
Before you begin
If the source and destination entity are of the same brand or model, all supported
configurations can be copied.
If the destination entity is a different make or model, the
copy process adapts the source configuration values on the destination entity.
IMPORTANT:
- This process isn’t applicable for users, cardholders, and other entities.
- The Copy configuration tool doesn’t work on federated
entities.
