Replacing Sonicwall SOHO 3 with a TZ 210

Hello, I will be replacing our old Sonicwall SOHO 3 with a new TZ 210. Can I export the settings from the SOHO and import them into the TZ 210? If so, what is the procedure. Also, do I need to take the SOHO offline and install the TZ in order to set it up or can I just connect it to the network with the SOHO in place to get it set up then replace the SOHO?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Oops. .I forgot to mention. It doesn't hurt to try importing the configuration file. .If it doesn't like it, it won't hurt it. But don't connect the both devices to the same network at the same time, because if the config file is accepted, you will have an IP address conflict.
The TZ210 only has an enhanced version, I am not sure if the SOHO has the enhanced or just the standard, but unless they are both on enhanced it won't work and if you import your firewall won't boot, you'll need to reset it to default. So make sure you check first.

Thank you. I will do the swap this weekend. I will do it off line as you suggested.
