ZyXEL Communications P-1100 manual Restore Configuration, Restore using the Console Port

Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router

To transfer the configuration file, follow the procedure below: Use telnet from your workstation to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does not have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.

Step 1. Launch the TFTP client on your workstation and connect to the Prestige.

Step 2. Go to SMT menu 24.5. Note that you must remain in this menu until backup is complete.

Step 3. Use the TFTP client to transfer files between the Prestige and the workstation. The file name for the configuration file is “rom-spt”.

For details on TFTP commands, please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the Prestige to the workstation, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

12.7 Restore Configuration

Option 6 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to restore the current workstation backup configuration to your Prestige.

12.7.1 Restore using the Console Port

You can restore the configuration 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). Restoring 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. Please note that the system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.
