where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files),
“host” is the HomeSafe IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the HomeSafe (rom-0, name
of the configuration file on the HomeSafe) to the file destination on the computer and renames it
config.rom.

31.3 Restore Configuration
This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this function
erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; please do not
attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.
FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your HomeSafe
since FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after
the file transfer is complete.
