Chapter 4 Maintenance

4.2 Auto-Provision

Click Maintenance > System > Auto Provision to open this screen. If you need to provision more than one ZyXEL Device, use this screen to back up (save) the ZyXEL Device’s current configuration to a text file on your computer. Edit the configuration file using a text editor and put it on an auto-provisioning server. Then configure the ZyXEL Device to download the configuration file (and firmware) automatically from the auto-provisioning server, meaning you do not have to upload them manually.
