To transfer the firmware and configuration file to your workstation, follow the procedure below:

1.Launch the FTP client on your workstation.

2.Type "open" and the IP address of your HomeSafe. Then type "root" and SMT password as requested.

3.Type "put backupfilename rom-0" where backupfilename is the name of your backup configuration file on your workstation and rom-0 is the remote file name on the HomeSafe. This restores the configuration to your HomeSafe.

4.The system reboots automatically after a successful file transfer

For details on FTP commands, please consult the documentation of your FTP client program. For details on backup using TFTP (note that you must remain in this menu to back up using TFTP), please see your HomeSafe manual.

Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.

Step 2. Enter “open”, followed by a space and the IP address of your HomeSafe. Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.

Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”). Step 5. Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.

Step 6. Find the “rom” file (on your computer) that you want to restore to your HomeSafe.

Step 7. Use “put” to transfer files from the HomeSafe to the computer, for example, “put config.rom rom-0” transfers the configuration file “config.rom” on your computer to the HomeSafe. See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.

Step 8. Enter “quit” to exit the ftp prompt. The HomeSafe will automatically restart after a successful restore process.
