Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 3 • Import/Export

Introduction

The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your access server’s configura- tion parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or imported, into a replacement access server—greatly speeding up the installation process should an access server need replacing.

Note All actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.

To import or export a configuration, click on Import/Export under the Configuration Menu to display the Import/Export main window (see figure 6).

Export Configuration

Note The exported configuration file is a text-format file. Do not try, however to edit the operating characteristics contained in the file.

Note The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as they are stored in flash memory and may not be the current operating parameters. To ensure that you export the most current parameters, go to HOME, then click on the Record Current Configuration button under Immediate Actions.
