ZyXEL Communications Intelligent Broadband Sharing Gateway P-324 - Manual (Page 204)

17-2 Firmware and Configuration Maintenance
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the
Prestige and the external filename refers to the filename not on the Prestige, that is, on your computer, local
network or ftp site and so the name (but not the extension) will vary. After uploading new firmware see the
ZyNOS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 - System Maintenance - Information to confirm that you
have uploaded the correct firmware version. The AT command is the command you enter after you press
“y” when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode.

DESCRIPTION
Configuration
File Rom-0 *.rom This is the configuration filename on the
Prestige. Uploading the rom-0 file replaces
the entire ROM file system, including your
Prestige configurations, system-related data
(including the default password), the error log
and the trace log.
Firmware Ras *.bin This is the generic name for the ZyNOS
firmware on the Prestige.
17.2 Backup Configuration
The Prestige displays different messages explaining different ways to backup,
restore and upload files in menus 24.5, 24.6, 24. 7.1 and 24.7.2 when you use the
serial/console port and when you telnet in.
Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration to
your computer. 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. 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 don’t have to rename the files (see section 17.1).
