Western Telematic AFS-16-1 manual Restoring Previously Saved Parameters, 15-3

Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters

15.3. Restoring Previously Saved Parameters

If you make a mistake while configuring the AFS-16 unit, and wish to return to the previously saved parameters, the Text Interface's "Reboot System" command (/I) offers the option to reinitialize the AFS-16 using previously backed up parameters. This allows you to reset the unit to previously saved parameters, even after you have changed parameters and saved them.

Notes:

•The AFS-16 will automatically backup saved parameters once a day, shortly after Midnight. This configuration backup file will contain only the most recently saved AFS-16 parameters, and will be overwritten by the next night's daily backup.

•When the /I command is invoked, a submenu will be displayed which offers several Reboot options. Option 4 is used to restore the configuration backup file. The date shown next to option 4 indicates the date that you last changed and saved unit parameters.

•If the daily automatic configuration backup has been triggered since the configuration error was made, and the previously saved configuration has been overwritten by newer, incorrect parameters, then this function will not be able to restore the previously saved (correct) parameters.

To restore the previously saved configuration, proceed as follows:

1.Access command move via the Text Interface, using a username/password that permits access to Administrator level commands (see Section 5.1.1.)

2.At the RSM command prompt, type /I and press [Enter]. The AFS-16 will display a submenu that offers several different reboot options.

3.At the submenu, select Item 4 (Reboot & Restore Last Known Working Configuration,) type 4, and then press [Enter].

4.The AFS-16 will reboot and previously saved parameters will be restored.
