Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router

10.4 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (sometimes called the romfile or rom-0) contains the settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup defaults, TCP/IP Setup defaults, etc. The external (i.e., not on the Prestige) configuration filename is usually the router model name with a *.rom extension. The ZyNOS firmware file (sometimes called the “ras” file) contains the ZyXEL Network Operating System firmware and the external firmware file is usually the router model name with a *.bin extension. Rename the configuration filename to “rom-0” and the firmware filename to “ras” when transferring files to the Prestige (i.e., the internal filenames on the Prestige). Renaming the files is not necessary when you transfer files using the Xmodem protocol.

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the Prestige and the external filename refers to the filename not on the Prestige, i.e., on your computer, local network, or ftp site and so the name (but not the extension) will vary. Type the AT command after you press Y when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode. After uploading the new firmware see the ZyNOS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 to check if you uploaded the correct firmware version.

10.5 Backup Configuration

Typing 5 in Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly.

You must perform backup and restore through the console port. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload.

Note that the terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer from another computer to the workstation, while upload means from your computer to another computer.
