Chapter 10 System Maintenance

10.5 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
configuration is functioning.

You must perform the backup and restore through the console port. Any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use XMODEM protocol to
perform the download/upload.

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

10.6 Restore Configuration

Selecting option 6 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance to restore the configuration from
your workstation to the Prestige. Again, you must use the console port and XMODEM
protocol to restore the configuration.

Keep in mind that the configuration is stored in the flash ROM in the Prestige, so even if
power failure should occur, your configuration is safe.
