Prestige 100L IDSL Router
11.2 Backup Configuration
Option 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration to your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly. TFTP is the preferred method for backing up your current workstation configuration to your computer since TFTP is faster. You can also perform backup and restore using menu 24 through the console port. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use XMODEM protocol to perform the download/upload and you do not have to rename the files (see Section 11.1).
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the workstation. Download means to transfer from another machine to the your workstation, while upload means from your workstation to another machine.
