Storing and Restoring Configuration Settings

Many of the Ethernet Modem Router’s software features, such as
those documented in this User’s Manual, can be configured in
various ways to address your needs or your ISP’s requirements.
This configuration data becomes part of the software image. You
can extract configuration data from the software image and save it
on your PC as a text file. If you later change the system
configuration, but then want to revert to the previous settings, you
can load the configuration file back to the system.

This feature may be especially useful when you receive an image
upgrade file from your ISP containing software updates. Uploading
the new image may overwrite your customized settings with default
values. Before you load the new image, you can store the
configuration settings. Then, after you load the image, you can
restore your previous configuration.

Follow these instructions to save and restore the configuration file:

1. Ensure that any changes you have made in the current

session have been committed (click the Admin tab, click

Commit & Reboot

in the task bar, and then click

.)

2. In the Admin tab, click

in the task

bar.
