Auto Save Configuration

When configurations are sent to the module they only overwrite the "active" configuration. Enabling Auto Save Configuration insures that the updated "active" configuration is also copied to nonvolatile memory.

When a module powers up, if a configuration is stored in its nonvolatile memory, that configuration will be loaded and the module will go online. Otherwise the module will power up and wait, in program mode, to be configured via Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) or manually by a user.
