22.2 The Firmware Screen

Use this screen to manage configuration files and upload firmware to your ZyXEL Device.

Firmware Upgrade

Follow the instructions in this screen to upload firmware to your ZyXEL Device. The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. After a successful upload, the system will reboot. See Section 22.1.3 on page 142 for upgrading firmware using FTP/TFTP commands.

Do NOT turn off the ZyXEL Device while firmware upload is in progress!

Romfile Backup

Romfile backup allows you to back up (save) the ZyXEL Device’s current configuration to a file on your computer. Once your ZyXEL Device is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
