Overview
In the event that a transmitter or receiver is no longer functioning, the AIM Manager has a feature that allows you to replace the unit with another that is the same model. This is with the exception of an ALIF1000, which can be replaced with the ALIF1002 variant that supersedes it. The main benefit of using the replace feature is that the replacement unit assumes the identity of the unit it replaces, thus maintaining its name, description. user rights etc. For a transmitter, this also maintains its channels and presets, of which there could be many and therefore could take a while to replace manually without using this feature.
The following procedure demonstrates replacing an ALIF2002T transmitter, however, the procedure is the same for all models.
Procedure
[+] AIM v5.x and below
[-] AIM v6.x
- Make sure that you disconnect the unit that you are replacing from the network and that the AIM Manager is no longer showing the unit on line.
- Connect a new or factory reset unit to the AdderLink Infinity network that is not known to the AIM.
- The unit after a couple of minutes should appear as a new unconfigured unit on the AIM Manager's interface.

- You will be presented with a list of units that have not been configured yet.
