An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is a portable device for managing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment configuration. The portable device includes a memory, a user-operable switch having a read position and a write position, and a controller interface coupled to the memory and the user-operable switch. The controller interface is configured to be coupled to an HVACR controller. The controller interface is configured to detect whether the user-operable switch is in the read position or the write position. The controller interface is configured to, responsive to detecting that the user-operable switch is in the read position, execute a read operation comprising obtaining a first set of configuration parameters from the HVACR controller. The controller interface is configured to, responsive to detecting that the user-operable switch is in the write position, execute a write operation comprising sending the first set of configuration parameters to the HVACR controller.
