ZyXEL Communications MSAP2000 manual Editable Configuration File Backup

MSAP2000 AAMS User’s Guide

If your FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will need to rename them as the MSAP2000 AAMS only recognizes “config-0” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of the files for later use.

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the MSAP2000 AAMS and the external filename refers to the filename not on the MSAP2000 AAMS, that is, on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, use the sys version command to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version.

Table 67 File Name Conventions

FILE TYPE	INTERNAL NAME	EXTERNAL NAME	DESCRIPTION
Configuration File	config-0	*.dat	This is the configuration filename for the
			MSAP2000 AAMS.
Firmware	ras	*.bin	This is the generic name for the ZyNOS
			firmware on the MSAP2000 AAMS.

31.3 Editable Configuration File

The configuration file can be downloaded as a plain-text (ASCII) file. Edits to the configuration can be made to this file before it is uploaded again to the MSAP2000 AAMS.

Note: You can change the “.dat” file to a “.txt” file and still upload it to the

MSAP2000 AAMS.

31.3.1Editable Configuration File Backup
