31-2 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance
31.2 Backup Configuration
Option 5 from Menu 24 – System Maintenance allows you to backup the current HomeSafe
configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your HomeSafe is
functioning properly. FTP is the preferred methods for backing up your current configuration to
your computer since they are faster.
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download means to
transfer from the HomeSafe to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the
HomeSafe.
31.2.1 Backup Configuration
Follow the instructions as shown in the next screen.

31.2.2 Using the FTP Command from the Command Line
Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.
Step 2. Enter “open”, followed by a space and the IP address of your HomeSafe.
Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).
Step 5. Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.
Step 6. Use “get” to transfer files from the HomeSafe to the computer, for example, “get rom-0
config.rom” transfers the configuration file on the HomeSafe to your computer and renames it
“config.rom”. See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.
Step 7. Enter “quit” to exit the ftp prompt.
