The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new firmware into effect. While the system resets, the LEDs will blink on and off.

Caution!

Do not manually power down or reset the Netopia R9100 while it is automatically resetting or it could be damaged.

Downloading configuration files

The Netopia R9100 can be configured by downloading a configuration file. The downloaded file reconfigures all of the Router’s parameters.

Configuration files are available from a site maintained by your organization’s network administrator or from your local site (see “Uploading configuration files,” below).

Follow these steps to download a configuration file:

1.Make sure you have the configuration file on disk and know the path to its location.

2.Select Send Config to Netopia and press Return. The following dialog box appears:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you want to send a saved configuration to your Netopia?

If so, when you hit Return/Enter on the CONTINUE button, you will

have 10 seconds to begin the transfer from your terminal program.

 

 

CANCEL

CONTINUE

 

 

+--------------------------------------------------------------------

3.Select CANCEL to exit without downloading the file, or select CONTINUE to download the file.

If you choose CONTINUE, you will have ten seconds to use your terminal emulation software to initiate an XMODEM transfer of the configuration file. If you fail to initiate the transfer in that time, the dialog box will disappear and the terminal emulation software will inform you of the transfer’s failure. You can then try again.

The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new configuration into effect.

Uploading configuration files

A file containing a snapshot of the Netopia R9100’s current configuration can be uploaded from the router to disk. The file can then be downloaded by a different Netopia R9100 to configure its parameters (see “Downloading configuration files,” above). This is useful for configuring a number of routers with identical parameters or for creating configuration backup files.

Uploading a file can also be useful for troubleshooting purposes. The uploaded configuration file can be tested on a different Netopia R9100 by Netopia or your network administrator.
