    Hi @follet

    Because it will check the model name of configuration file header when you apply configuration file to USG-100. It only accept the same model.

    You can remove the first three line of the configuration file header to bypass checking and try it again. 

    (Please note that make sure the firmware version is same before your perform this operation.)
