Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway

For each device, the table shows the IP address, NetBIOS Host Name (if available), and Ethernet MAC address. Note that if the gateway is rebooted, the table data is lost until the gateway rediscovers the devices. To force the gateway to look for attached devices, click the Refresh button.

Configuration File Settings Management

The configuration settings of the Model DG814 gateway are stored within the gateway in a configuration file. This file can be saved (backed up) to a user’s PC, retrieved (restored) from the user’s PC, or cleared to factory default settings.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Backup Settings heading to bring up the menu shown in Figure 6-6.

Restore and Backup the Configuration

The Restore and Backup options in the Backup Settings menu allow you to save and retrieve a file containing your gateway’s configuration settings.

To save your settings, select the Backup Settings tab. Click the Backup button. Your browser will extract the configuration file from the gateway and will prompt you for a location on your PC to store the file. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as pacbell.cfg.
