correctly, you should back up the information to have it available if something goes wrong.
When you back up the settings, they are saved as a file on your computer. You can restore
the device’s settings from this file.
Back Up Settings
1. Click Backup. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the Extender.
2. If you do not have your browser set up to save downloaded files automatically, locate where
you want to save the file.
3. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as internet_adapter.cfg.
Restore Settings
1. On the Backup Settings screen, click Browse.
2. Locate and select the previously saved backup file.
3. Click Restore.
A screen displays letting you know that the device has been successfully restored to the
previous settings. The Extender restarts. This takes about 1 minute.
CAUTION:
Do not try to go online, turn off the Extender, shut down the computer, or
do anything else to the Extender until it finishes restarting!
4. Close the message window.
To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your
computer, or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to
send the file to the Extender. The Extender then reboots automatically.
Erase the Settings
Under some circumstances (for example, if you have lost track of the changes that you made
to the Extender settings), you might want to erase the configuration. After an erase, the
Extender returns to its factory settings (see
Factory Settings on page 5).
To erase the configuration, click the Erase button in the Backup Settings screen.
CAUTION:
Do not try to go online, turn off the Extender, shut down the computer, or
do anything else to the Extender until it finishes restarting!
