12.6 Back up Configuration

12.6.1 Backup using the Console Port

Option 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to back up the current Prestige configuration to your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly .

You can perform the backup either through an FTP or TFTP client program (preferred method) or through the RS-232 console port (in the event of the network being down). Backup via the console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use the XMODEM protocol to perform the download/upload.

1 Ras and ATUR exist for backward compatibility. Ras is equivalent to ras-m; atur is equivalent to ATUM.
