Signaling Variants can be both imported to and exported from the IMG 2020. Exporting a variant allows other IMG 2020's, that do not have the variant, the ability to then import the variant. When exporting a Variant, the variant is first created and downloaded to the system. Once downloaded, it can then be exported to a local drive. The file exported is a text file and a .cfg file which can then be imported by other IMG 2020's. Importing and Exporting a variant is achieved through the Web GUI. The information below describes how to import or export a variant and is not specific to the protocol described in the procedure. The steps described below can be used when importing any protocol.
