FTP over WAN will not work if security level 2 or 3 is enabled.

5.2Backup Configuration

Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly. FTP and TFTP are the preferred methods for backing up your current configuration to your computer since FTP and TFTP are faster. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload and you don’t have to rename the files (see section 5.1).

Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the Prestige.

Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is 1234). Step 5. Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.
