System Tools

Enter 21 to select Reboot System. Your system is rebooted, implementing any changes that may have been recently added to your system.

Enter 22 to select Command Interpreter Mode. This option changes the Manager interface on your router from the screen-based mode to a command line mode. The command line mode allows you to configure, diagnose, and test your router using a specified set of commands. This mode is capable of executing user-defined scripts sent from the terminal. For more information, refer to “Command Interpreter Mode,” on page 9-9.

Back Up Configuration

Select option 5 from Menu 24 - Maintenance to back up the current configuration settings of your router onto a disk. NETGEAR highly recommends backing up your router configuration after it is functioning.

The procedure for downloading varies depending on the type of terminal software used to access the router. Your terminal software must have the ability to transfer data using the XMODEM Protocol to perform the backup. A backup is possible only through the serial cable connection.

Restore Configuration

Select option 6 from Menu 24 - Maintenance to reload a previously backed up configuration from a disk to the router. The configuration is stored in the internal flash ROM of your router and is retained even if a power failure occurs.

The procedure for uploading varies depending on the type of terminal software used to access the router. Your terminal software must have the ability to transfer data using the XMODEM Protocol to perform the upload. Restoring a configuration is possible only through the serial cable connection.
